Disciplining when they talk back

Within the last week or so both boys have started to talk back when being scolded. If I'm getting after one of them, that one, the other or even both will talk back to me by saying NO or Don't while shoving their finger at me. (However really cute and makes me chuckle!!) I'm just not really sure what to do with that. Do you scold that while still scolding the original issue or do you just ignore that??

I'm currently reading 123 Magic so maybe I haven't gotten far enough in the book to figure out how to handle that behavior so I was wondering what you guys do/did.

....They're only 2 and talking back already!! AAAHHHHHH!!!! How the heck does that happen??? I'm so getting that on video and showing their future wife. :rotflmbo:

 

at this age i've been ignoring it - i figure they don't have a lot of impulse control and so they're just sharing what they feel. heck, i still say "no" sometimes when someone asks me to do something i don't want to (even though i go & do the thing anyway). for me, it's kind of about letting off steam. as they get older, depending on what the talking back starts to become, it will likely result in some sort of additional consequence on top of whatever consequence they earned from the original misbehavior.

 

I agree with Rachel, I ignored the talk back when they were 2 because I think, as my mother would put it, they are feeling their cheerios. I notice now that they are 3, they aren't talking back as much but who knows if that will change soon!

 

At that age, we ignored it or told them "It is not nice to talk to mommy that way." Now at 3.5, when they give us a sassy rude NO! they go to TO. (Although I usually give them warning first and if they say NO! again, then they go to TO.)
