sisterlynch Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Actually he is much more a typical 16 year old than you are. The middle teens are marked with huge emotional upheavals, ups and downs. You seem much more mature and able to handle what life gives you. He is acting like a child so you must treat him with behavior management as if he were a toddler. Here is how that goes: If his behavior is appropriate, treat him great, give what ever you like -- smiles, congratulations, etc. When he misbehaves -- swears, gets angry, any inapropriate emotional response, ignore him. Don't talk to him until he apologizes or other wise acknowledges that he was out of line. Soon he will learn to control himself, and you have learned to teach anger management! Good Luck!
