Backtalk 4 Steps to Ending Rude Behavior in Your Kids P 26

Few behavioral problems challenge and frustrate parents, caregivers, and teachers as does verbal rudeness in children of any age. Reinforced by the wise-cracking of kids on TV and in the movies, backtalk has become all too common among today's youngsters. But there is nothing cute about this behavior. Remarks like "Yeah, right," "Big deal," and "Make me" - from children as young as three - get in the way of real communication between parents and kids, and can also be detrimental to a child's social and intellectual development. Now two experts in the field share their simple and specific four-step program for ending backtalk and restoring balance in relationships between parents and children, from preschoolers to teens. You'll learn how to recognize backtalk, how to choose and enact a response that will make sense to you and the backtalker, and when to disengage from the struggle and move forward. Full of advice and encouragement as well as suggestions on how to keep track of what works and what doesn't, this book can be put to use immediately, before you hear another "Whatever."

A new baby will mess up her life, so she prays that the baby will disappear. When her brother Barry is born with cerebral palsy, Ellen feels that her terrible prayer was responsible and suffers overwhelming guilt. She decides that she hates Barry and won't have anything to do with him. Then her mother's new friend, Maribeth, herself the mother of a disabled son, helps Ellen to see things very differently. Quickly Ellen becomes dedicated to Barry, becoming almost the mother to own brother. She sees herself as a mother wolf, caring for her cub, single-minded and ferociously protective.
