PARENTS DON’T GET DEFENSIVE WITH “I DON’T LIKE YOU”!!! A parent can easily overreact when they hear that statement.
Instead of overreacting say, “WE LOVE EACH OTHER. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF I SPOKE TO YOU THAT WAY?”
After a calm period, ASK for an APOLOGY and GUIDE the child toward a better decision with QUESTIONS!
DON’T fly off the handle because I DON’T LIKE YOU is not life or death!!!
