When your child is rude or their behaviour is challenging, try to see it as communication: it tells you something is going on underneath.

Clinical psychologist Dr Bettina Hohnen suggests taking a breath and asking yourself, “What’s going on for my child right now?” You can hold a boundary and still validate their feelings, then talk it through later.
