How to respond when your Child TALKS BACK! 😤

Let's talk: BACKTALK 🤨

"I don't want to!"
"You can't make me!"
"I hate you!"

Here's the thing: you don't have to REACT or use harsh words when your child talks back. This type of response is more likely to backfire.

The best way to put the brakes on backtalk is to MODEL what respectful behavior looks like.

You can say:
✅ "I hear you. You're upset about this."
✅ "Let's take a break until we can both calm down."
✅ "It's okay to feel angry, but not okay to talk to me that way."

Your goal is to set boundaries and re-establish your family standard for respect calmly by setting clear expectations and inviting constructive communication to solve problems.
