Please don’t roll your eyes, it’s disrespectful
Posted by Susan Epstein on June 14th, 2011 at 12:30am
Parents ask me all the time, “How many times do I have to keep repeating myself to get my child/teen to stop being disrespectful?”
My answer is always, “As many times as it takes for them to get that you mean it.” I know it is tedious and exhausting but hang in there. If you can get your point across in a few corrective words, eventually your child/teen will integrate the information. However, if you lose your temper, lecture, rant and rave…you will get nowhere. They will stop listening to your words and only hear your emotional state (usually frustration, disgust, and exhaustion).
This week remember the Robotic Parenting Mantra-and call them on their non-verbal disrespect and repeat as many times as it takes:
“Please don’t __________ it’s disrespectful”.
