About this listen
“You’re stupid!” “I hate you!” “Give me it – NOW!”
If your child says things like this, you’re not alone — and you’re not doing anything wrong. But the truth is, hearing those words can be heartbreaking, especially when you’re trying to raise a kind and respectful human with good manners.
In this powerful episode, parenting coach Camilla McGill shares why rudeness shows up so often — particularly with the people our children feel safest with — and what we can do to guide them without shouting, shaming or punishment.
You’ll learn:
- Why kids are rude (hint: it’s rarely personal)
- How to stay calm and hold your boundary
- The gentle replay technique that helps children practise respectful communication
- What to do when they’re rude to a nanny or grandparent
- And how to handle those painful words: “I hate you.”
