How do you correct a child that screams child abuse?

Sounds like you're doing all you can. Taking away her things is a good punishment, and not letting her use the phone or watch t.v. or use the computer. There's plenty you can do as punishment that aren't abuse it's called discipline. Just make sure her mom and her dad are on board to back you up. It won't take long for her to realize she's not going to win this one and start behaving, for the most part. \nGood luck.

Sounds like you need to watch what you say around him.  Punishing him would be silly considering he was just repeating what he heard and probably had no idea it was wrong.  Kids are like sponges - they are learning from everything they observe.\n\nI have found in situations like that that if you seriously expalain that what he said was not polite (I would explain exactly why - that saying that word is a vulgar way of talking about a girl's private parts, but I'll leave that to you).  It may need to be firmly repeated a few times.\n\nIf they get a rise out of you, that will only make it more exciting to say.

they do it there own time, just don't give him what he wants till he asks for it in real words. help him when he wants a drink tell him to say drink or baba whatever word you use. when he is speaking giberish tell him that you love him. ask him where his nose is and point to it.  do the same for the rest of his body. when you give him a toy tell him toy or ball or rattle, say it over and over till he says it. don't respond to tantrums or anything like that. it takes time but it works. my 18 month old is speaking well and this is what we did for him.

I think it depends on what age they are.  If they aren't pretty well grown and feel the teacher is wrong, they should hold their tongue, tell their parent, and let the parent do the yelling.

That's child abuse.\n\nHave them read the Bill of Rights. Anything that isn't fiction.

more than we will ever be able to count unfortunately. Most abuse victims are afraid to speak up for themselves, especially children who by society's nature are made to feel like they aren't important. \n\nGoogle the statistics, or go to a child abuse prevention website.

There's no easy way.  You just have to be straight and to the point.  There are no magic words that will make it easier on either of you.  Just make sure the kid are with grandparents or a trusted friend for the night so that they do not have to hear anything that is said.

I spanked all my kids, and I have three.  You have to instill fear into a child otherwise they run wild without fear of being punished.  I know, all you non-spankers are bit*hin, shut up.

A well placed and well timed smack can do wonders. But it must not be excessive. After all a child needs to be reminded that we as parents are there to teach them proper ways to behave. Parents have the responsibility to raise a child (to the best of their ability) to be good citizens. Of course there are always exceptions.

I suggest being straightforward with the people and tell them right off that they cannot use those words around youre children. whether theyre youre friends or not(i dont know) you should still tell them immediately to stop

Two problems: you get angry, and you cuss.  The solution to the cussing is easy.  Find a new word to replace the swearword.  It is natural to use a curse to belay frustration but you can achieve the same result with another word that is not offensive to your children.  All children frustrate their parents at times, but you could take an approach that will stop the frustrating situations from happening.  Promote a co-operative environment between the siblings by playing games with them.  Try to be present when they are together and be their mediator.  Keep them apart when you don't have the time to mediate.  As for the lying, try to build their trust so that they don't have a reason to lie to you.  Make the truth more rewarding than a lie.  Easy for me to say, but it works most of the time for me.....but not always...kids will be kids

HI Grannywinkie!\n\nDid your mother tell you that? I hope not. If so, it's definitely emotional and verbal child abuse. Absolutely.\n\nTake care!

Here's a great site. I have used it several times with prank callers and was able to call back and speak to the children's parents and get them in trouble.  One parent even made their child get on the phone and apologize.  It was a real scream! See below under "sources."

I think anytime you are doing anything to your child in Anger to hurt them it's abuse.  The easy way to judge would be to think to yourself do I want to hurt or help my child.\n\nMore specificly an occasional spanking when children respond to nothing else is OK.\n\nA backhand to the kid for a bad grade or even calling your kid stupid is Bad.

witnesses tend to be the best way to coroborate verbal abuse\nBut if this is the only type of abuse, do not cry and boohoo\njust leave!! \nYou always have the option of leaving!!!

Practice speaking with them, don't feel bad about correcting them.  they can watch TV or movies, listen to audio books. Even going to the basics with grade school phonics - Hope this helps!
