I want some advise on how to deal with my mouthy son?
Answer:
Get him a time out chair. When he gets mouthy make him sit in it with no tv, no toys, and ignore everythign he does unless he gest up then you just walk over dont say ANYTHING and put him back till he has sat for 5 min. If that does ot work then lightly tap his mouth..dont slap but let him know you are not kidding when you say not to be mouthy.
How old is the brat?
give the little sod a bludy good clip round the earhole and tell him thats from me
Soap in the mouth worked for me when i was an unruly child. Ever see "The Christmas Story" worked for the main character also. An oldie but a goodie!
Good luck with the unruly one!
unfortunately it sounds like u r in this alone. he is testing his boundaries(what he can get away with)with u. be firm and always do what u say u will. like if he does this u will do that, just make sure u do that or he will never quit knowing u wont backup ur threats, good luck, every child is different, hope he realizes sooner than later that u r the boss.
Well depending on how old your son is. Most kids around 2-3 hit the mouthy stage. But if I was you every time he is mouthy take something he likes away from him. Also try to moniter what he is watching on TV and Movies. Alot of kids get there mouthy from shows and movies.
set him down in a conor, and put a barsoap in his month for 5 mins... keep doing it, he will get the point!!!
For each thing my daughter says to me that is rude (even a tone of voice), I count it as a one two or three. After 3 infractions.. mouthy, roll eyes, tone of voice whatever... then her punishment follows.. that is not acceptable. and you only get 2 warnings to knock it off.. the punishment would depend on the age of the child
Well there's always the traditional soup in the mouth...but my dad's mom would make him kneel on rice! Sounds crazy, but apparently it worked! LOL
But the real question is.where is he getting his mouthy actions from? Friends? T.V., School? Maybe also keeping him away from the little evil helpers will do the trick too.
i have an 7 year old son an his mouth is kind of mouthy 2 but the way i handle that is i put the belt on his butt or hit him straigth in it if it gets 2 mouthy and another way of handleing it is not give him what he wants tell him that mouthy children don"t get treats they get tricks as in nothing so until he can act good he gets nothing he wants only what he needs.....
Don't give him attention for his bad language.
Praise him for using good language instead, give him the attention for his good behaviour not his bad behaviour.
Maybe get a star chart and stick a star up whenever he says something genuinely kind or uses his manners.
Giving him attention, even if it is negative could reinforce his mouthyness, you want to reinforce the good behaviour not the bad.
An easy rule is use your good words. Explain this rule to him and say you will only listen if he uses his good words, then if he gets mouthy say, remember I told you to use your good words, I will only listen if you use them.
Can't answer without an age on your kiddo. A mouthy 3 year old is different from a mouthy 5 year old.
