Parents Talk: What Do You Do About Kid Attitude?

Sass, talk-back, rolling eyes—what's a parent to do (or not do)?

 

What do you do when your kid (or worse, someone else's) gives you a heaping helping of attitude?

Maybe it's a three-year-old prodigy in the Art of Sass. Or, an 11-year-old whose default reaction to any situation is to roll her eyes.

Or maybe a kid—ranging anywhere from seven to 17—who actually knows 100 times what you know about a given topic and doesn't mind flaunting it.

What's the best course of action or reaction for a mature adult? Let it slide, or share a piece of your mind with the young whippersnapper?
