Does your child sometimes come down with Bad Attitude Syndrome? Here are some of my thoughts from this weeks column: Sometimes it seems as though our youngster is two different children rolled into one: the delightfully cheery one that shows up at school or as a guest in other peoples homes, and the rather unpleasant, uncooperative one who sleeps under our roof! • Consider the setting. A child is likely more vigilant when she is at school or a guest in someone elses home; the fear of getting in trouble helps him or her follow rules and exercise restraint. When your daughter is home, she can relax, effectively letting that governing instinct go off duty. This doesnt mean that she should be allowed to speak or behave rudely. It simply explains why children are often sloppier with their manners when they feel safe. huffingtonpost/susan-stiffelman/my-daughter-has-a-bad-attitude_b_5229812.html
