At some point in time you might notice that your child is starting to act a bit rude. If you are trying to be a good parent, this can be difficult to deal with since this is not what you have been teaching your child. Below we will discuss what you can do about this situation.
First of all, you need to stand your ground. If you do not want this behavior to continue, you need to set the tone that being rude will not be acceptable under any circumstance. Explain that you are not rude to them and that being rude is not best in the long run. Let your child know that less people will like them if they act like this.
Take away privileges. These have to be more than just once fun thing if there are plenty of things to be doing around the house. It has to be enough of a punishment that the child will not want to repeat this behavior too often.
Your child might be becoming a bit spoiled. Does the child have his or her way too much? Are you being thanked for your efforts after little gifts or things done for the child? Is rude behavior a way to act out to get what they want? Be careful about how you give into demands and give things to your child or else he or she might be spoiled.
When the child is being good, encourage this type of behavior. This works just as well for certain children as punishments do.
Do not let the young age of your child be an excuse for rude behavior patterns. Young children can be polite. Letting this behavior continue for a few years will make it harder to stop later on when the child gets older.
Be careful about how you are treating others in front of your child. Have you been rude to the waiter lately? Children will pick up on these. Be sure that you are polite so your children know how to act.
