My bigger ones if they're chutzpah, it's so much easier to deal with (they're not teenagers yet Very Happy ). I always act differently towards the chutzpah. I think 5 is the age to be chutzpah. My 8 yr old did the same thing, now he's not so bad. Is there any way you're supposed to respond or not respond when you're preschooler is chutzpah to you?

He was chutzpah again and I'm about to wash his mouth out with soap and water. Nobody has any better ideas.


just kidding, he's in bed though and doesn't stop talking when he's supposed to be sleeping, so I may do something else Exploding anger .

my 3 and a half yr old DD is plenty chutzpadik. I dont think she understands what it means, so I just say we dont speak like tha tto a mommy. the nice way to say it is and I would rephrase. she till doesnt get it though. but when her friends were at the house and seh said something like "mommy give it to me now!" I said heer friends willl need to go home so she stopped. I think at that age she is still learning.

yes, she is still learning, three is young to understand, at that age they learn not to say dirty words.

ds whos five is finally understanding chuzpah like if I say "go get the book" , he says "you get the book"...so work on chuzpah a lot. it finally an age where u understand. ds whos three is far from understanding that kind of chuzpah. if the 5 year old is fresh we practice how to refrase it so it can sound better, I also have a rule chart and this is one thing on the chart
