can any help me with a troublesome 6 year old boy? he's rude to his friends and teachers?

Answer 1

Bring Back Spankings.

taking them away made the country soft!

Answer 2

Be firm with him. Give him consequences for his actions and always follow through on your actions. Taking away privileges like TV, video games, having friends over etc. always works. He may say he doesn't care - but he does. I never grounded my kids because that would ground me also.

You need to show him who the boss is now while he is still young. You will be doing him a big favour. Nobody like a rude child, especially other children. It's your job to train him right. It will take a lot of time and effort but if you do it now, you will have a much easier time later and your son will be happier. You don't need a teenager that's out of control. There are probably resources to help you in your community. Ask at the local health unit or community referral service.

As much as kids like to complain about parents, they need us to be strong for them and show them the right way.

My son used to test his limits every 6 weeks or so - just to see how far he could get and if I cared enough to do something about it.

He's 17 now and a sweet kid with a good head on his shoulders.

Answer 3

He is rude to his friends and his teachers for two reasons: one, he's at a point where he is testing his boundaries and trying to guage what exactly he can get away with; and two, he has seen examples SOMEWHERE (in person, at home, with others, on tv) that have shown him that this is a behaviour that might get him what he wants.

As a parent/adult in his life, it is your role to show him that disrespect is unacceptable (both for you and for the people who are receiving his disrespect). This involves consistent punishment for his bad behaviour. Whether this is via spankings, time-outs, restrictions, etc. is up to you as the caregiver. But whatever the punishment, again, be consistent. He will begin to understand that there are consequences to his choices.

Most important.... don't scream at him. This is, in effect, telling him that it is okay for you to disrespect him, but that he is not to disrespect others. By sending a mixed message, you'll run the risk of him just blocking you out and rebelling against you.

Good luck.

Answer 4

Give the little brat a hard swift stinging swat on his bad little buttocks, and explain to him the importance of treating others with respect, also inform him of Karma, thus if he chooses to disrespect others, then it's going to come right back at him, maybe 10 times worse than what ever he dished out.

Answer 5

i have a soon-to-be 6 year old myself. he is very well behaved; however, it did take some sort of negative reaction from me to correct him when he wasn't quite as nice. it depends on the kid, but he needs to experience some sort of consequence when he acts up. just raising my voice seems to work for me, but i've also given a swat on the butt, sent him to his room, and taken away some of his favorite toys for a while. point is, he needs to learn that there are consequences for his actions.

Answer 6

teach the boy to understand the purpose of having friends in life.

Answer 7

Talk to him about it.

Every time you see him being rude, repremand him on the spot. Take him aside and tell him his behavior is bad and not acceptable. Warn him you'll spank him if he's not respectful.

If he persists, spank him.

Answer 8

Well just change his skool and his frnd's group.............maybe he is unable to adjust wid those ppl.

Answer 9

take away his video games and his computer privleges.

Answer 10

tell him musn't do that, if he do that again, u can talk to his parents about him.
