If your kids say rude things or are ungrateful for nice things you do, it may be because you haven't explicitly and consistently trained them to be kind to you.  This often originates in your own upbringing and trying to be a better parent than the ones you had, and I outline how sometimes you can swing 180 degrees and then miss the mark in the other direction.  In this episode, I give you concrete ways to deal with your kids' disrespect, including scripts to increase empathy, clearly set up boundaries, and enhance your relationship.
