Why is my 17 year old son so angry with me?

Why won’t my child stop being disrespectful?

If you never acknowledge the times he manages to control his behavior, he may just stop trying. It may seem counter-intuitive, but relentless attention to failure, with no acknowledgment of even small success, can increase your child’s disrespectful behavior.

Does my child have to agree with someone to treat them respectfully?

Is it normal for a child to not respect their parents?

How do I get my son to leave his brother alone?

Decide where you want to go and when. Ten minutes before it’s time to leave, calmly say his name-if he ignores you or tells you to wait until his fame is over leave him be. Round up the rest of the family and leave for dinner, or go by yourself.
