I love this!! I was wondering would you recommend giving more privileges , then revoking those when he is disrespectful for younger boys too? My son is 5 (almost 6) and has started trying to give us attitude and disrespect. We don’t tolerate it and have made that known to him but I’m struggling with proper discipline when he is disrespectful. I LOVE your podcast and blog and am so thankful for your willingness to share your personal advice and wisdom and how God has worked in your life. 🙂 Thanks!

Thank you for your kind words! At your son’s age, there isn’t a lot of understanding of privileges, so that probably wouldn’t be the best discipline. One thing that works well for attitude at that age is to tell them firmly that you cannot hear them or help them when they use that tone. And then ignore them until they change how they are speaking to you. If they continue the bad behavior, gently and quickly remind them that they must speak kindly and respectfully or you will not listen and then walk away. I hope that helps!
