Your child naturally feels frustrated and is showing signs of poor emotional regulation - the inability to maintain self-control and respect for others when emotionally upset. If you don't put a stop to your child's rudeness or tantrums you are helping to wire that behavior firmly into his or her brain - where it will pose a threat for future relationships in adulthood. Punishment won't cure it. Getting upset definitely won't help. Naming feelings is a nice start but won't solve this problem. Do you know what will work? If not, read my ebook "Better Behavior Now!" It will answer this parenting question and so many others pertaining to kids from toddlerhood to adulthood.
