How to Deal with Disrespectful Behavior #shorts

😡 When your child talks back, rolls their eyes, or lashes out—it’s easy to lose your cool. But disrespect is often a *signal,* not just bad behavior. Here’s how to respond in a way that builds emotional intelligence instead of escalating conflict 👇 1️⃣ **Lead with empathy.** Get to eye level. Show them you *see* their frustration. 2️⃣ **Validate the feeling, not the behavior.** It’s okay to feel angry—it’s not okay to hurt others. 3️⃣ **Coach better expression.** Try: “I feel mad when you take my toy,” instead of yelling or hitting. 💬 When we model calm communication, we teach our kids to manage emotions, not fear them. 👉 Follow @dr.robynsilverman for more insight on **how to talk to kids about anything**—even the hard stuff. #HowToTalkToKids #DrRobynSilverman #ParentingTips #EmotionalIntelligence #RespectfulParenting #BigFeelings
