Living with children: Nasty talk
Q: Our almost 4-year-old son has taken to saying nasty things to us. Last night, for example, when my husband was reading him a bedtime story, he said, "I don't love you anymore Daddy, and I want you to move out of our house". We don't know where he is picking this stuff up or why he's doing this. We've explained that comments of that sort hurt people's feelings, but it seems to make no difference. Lately, we've been sending him to his room for about 20 minutes for his "nasty talk". Upon release he promises to say "nice things" yet the nasty comments keep coming. Should we continue to punish, or just ignore this?
