Do your kids ever say anything like this… “No.” “You’re not the boss of me!” “Leave me alone.” “Why should I listen to you?” “Yeah, what ever.”

And you respond with something like… “Don’t talk to me that way, young man!” “You better do it or else…” “Because I said so.” “Don’t walk away from me.”

If so, you’re not alone. Back talk and the power struggles that follow are common, but that doesn’t make them any less draining and frustrating for you.

“Back talk” or “talking back” refer to disrespectful responses from children. Depending on the age of the child, it can range from a defiant “no”, to eye rolling, a full-blown shouting match or even profanity. Back talk occurs as early as the terrible twos and can continue through the teenager years.

Do You Contribute To The Problem?

Parents often attempt to control back talk with a “power” reprimand such as “Time Out”, spanking, removing privileges or even more yelling. Unfortunately, “power” responses from parents only add fuel to the fire and encourage kids to continue talking back.

Why Do They Talk Back?

Toddlers through teenagers have a hard-wired need for positive power. If parents don’t understand how to give positive power, children often exert their need for power by talking back. It’s their way of saying “you’re not the boss of me.” Positive Parenting Solutions will teach you how to give kids the age-appropriate independence and power they need within your boundaries.
