How to Deal with a Disrespectful Grown Child
Being a parent is one of the most difficult jobs in the world. It requires patience and understanding and the ability to handle any situation, with a calm demeanor.
Dealing with a disrespectful grown child is one of the toughest challenges you can have as a parent. Do not believe that there isn’t anything you can do to make your child behave how you expect them to.
You must be willing to put in the effort needed to set boundaries, enforce consequences, and spend time with your child as these are all necessary to help your child behave how you would like them to.
This can make things difficult when your child is acting defiantly, but as a parent it is your duty to not give up on your child.
The following are some tips about how to deal with a disrespectful grown child.
Cooperate. If you are a parent, you may think that the best way to deal with an unruly grown child is to yell and scold them. However, the best way to handle unruly behavior is to not react. There are many things that could be causing a child to act out. Maybe they are feeling insecure, or they are tired, or they have a lot on their plate. You could really never know the cause of why a child is acting out.
Be patient: If you want your child to change their behavior, then you cannot expect them to change overnight. They need time to adjust and get used to living the way that you want them to. If your child is stubborn, they may not be able to change the way they are feeling about something even though you are appealing to their better nature.
Grown children who are disrespectful of their parents may simply not know better, or they may be lashing out due to their inability to cope with the family situation. Regardless of the reason, it’s important to be patient and find out what the underlying issue is.
Family Rules: Establish a clear set of family rules and boundaries. and stick to them and on their behavior that are not acceptable. Communicate the consequences of breaking the rules. Involve the whole family in laying the rules down. It is your responsibility to make sure that your child respects you and he must obey your house rule. The rules that you set for your children should be defined clearly so that they know exactly what will happen if they break them. By having clear boundaries, you will be able to make your children more aware of the things that they should and shouldn’t do.
Make sure that your child knows that the rules are for everyone: Everyone is equal at your house, and your family rules apply to all members of the family equally. Keep the lines of communication open so that you can find out what is causing your child to behave badly and what needs to be done to correct the situation.
Don’t be too lenient: Kids need to know that there are consequences for their actions. If you are too lenient, they may believe that there will be no consequences and they will continue breaking the rules. Just because your child is not acting out doesn’t mean he is acting well.
Be consistent: If you are using a set of clear, consistent rules for your family, it will make it easier for your child to behave as you would like. If your child is acting out, they may have forgotten what is expected of them or not realize that their actions can result in consequences for them.
Consistency will help your child learn that the rules are in place for a reason: Because they are not following them themselves, or because they are breaking them. Do not change your behavior suddenly. If you have been clear that you will give lots of hugs and kisses, don’t suddenly switch to a stricter policy.
Avoid Arguing: When you are dealing with a disrespectful child, they may be unwilling to listen to reason. If you try to argue with them or lay down the law in a forceful manner, this can result in more aggressive behavior and can escalate the situation.
Be lovingly firm: You may not always be able to get your child to comply with your wishes, but you can try to remain loving and firm when they are being stubborn or disrespectful. Make sure you have an explanation for why you are asking them to do something and that there is a reason behind the request, otherwise they may just ignore you and not listen.
Take away a privilege: If your child is not listening to you or being respectful, then you need to take action and decide on a consequence for their behavior. You can take away the things they enjoy doing, such as watching TV or playing video games.
Approach them without anger: Don’t blame your child unless you are certain of what they did wrong, and be clear about why this is a problem. Rather than saying “You are acting like such a little brat,” try “I know you were laughing really loud at dinner time, and it was pretty annoying. Please don’t do it again.” Keep the lines of communication open so that you can find out what is causing your child to behave badly and what needs to be done to correct the situation.
Encourage your child: It can be difficult for a child to behave how you would like when they are acting out, but you can encourage them to change their behavior in many ways. Use active encouragement such as “It’s really nice when you want to follow my rules.” If they are feeling discouraged, offer encouragement like, “You seem upset. Tell me what’s wrong. Tell me how you feel.” If your child is acting defiant, ask if he needs help to calm down and if so, offer to spend time with him.
Sometimes Ignore bad behavior: If your child is behaving badly, you don’t want to say or do anything that will make the situation worse, such as reacting with anger or scolding. Simply ignore the bad behavior and wait until it is appropriate for you to speak with your child.
Be a good listener: Even if your child has behaved badly, try not to be quick to judge them or become frustrated. Ask them if they are okay, if they need anything and if you can help them in any way. Let your child know that you are always available to talk.
Be calm: If your child is misbehaving, make sure that you remain calm. If you get angry or raise your voice, this will push your child to continue their bad behavior. And don’t give them any attention for the bad behavior, or it will reinforce it.
Reward good behavior: When you see your child behaving nicely or being respectful, take this time as an opportunity to enjoy some one-on-one time with them and do something special together. You can also avoid giving in to their demands, and reward them for doing something you wanted them to do, such as cleaning their room or playing nicely with their brother.
Connect after chaos: If your child is acting out and being disrespectful, try to connect with them after the situation has calmed down so that you can talk about what happened. Let them know that they are loved and appreciated and that you will always be there for them.
In conclusion, Children learn through observation. They watch their parents and then copy them so if you want to get rid of Bad Habits in your child, you need to change yourself too. Bad Habits take a long time to change so don’t expect quick results; just be encouraged by every little improvement that your child makes.

Children Who Disrespect Their Parents Quotes
A child who is allowed to be disrespectful to his parents will not have true respect for anyone.
You cannot respect another person until you have earned the right to do so.
The only way you can earn the right to respect is if you show it first, and this means respecting your parents by listening to them and following their instructions – even when they’re not around.
If a child respects his parents, he has a much better chance of respecting others in the future; if he does not respect his parents, he will never be able to truly feel respected by anyone – including himself.
A child who disobeys his parents, or does not listen to his parents when they tell him something, doesn’t just disrespect them – he disrespects himself.
Just like one must love oneself before they can truly love others, they must also respect themselves before they can truly respect anyone else; if a child has not learned to respect his own parents, he will never truly feel respected by anyone else – and that is why it is so important for a child to learn how to respect his parents.
If you do not respect your parents, you are not likely to respect anyone else.
A child who disrespects his parents becomes an adult who disrespects others; an adult disrespectful of others ends up in the jail, or is on drugs.
In the future, after a person has been to jail, he will probably be less likely to respect or listen to someone if that person is in any way disrespectful of him.
And if someone disrespects you, it is not easy to respect them back; in the future, disrespectful people are often disliked by others.

Discipline is the best way for a parent to show their child that they respect them.
If you are not disciplined as a child, you will have a much harder time being disciplined as an adult; if children are never disciplined, they often grow up to be undisciplined adults who find it difficult to listen to anyone – even themselves.
As such, discipline is necessary for any child who hopes to be respectful as an adult; and the way that a parent disciplines their child teaches their child everything they need to know about how a parent (and others) will expect them to behave in the future, once they are adults.
Although you might not think it at first, your parents were once children, too – and you can learn a lot about respect by looking at the way your parents treat others.
All people in the world should be treated with respect, but not all people can be respectful.
Some people will always disrespect others; and anyone who does not respect other people is usually disrespectful of others – perhaps even of themselves.
If you want to truly respect everyone, you have to first learn to respect yourself and your parents; if you do not love yourself, how can you expect anyone else to love you?
If you do not respect yourself, you will never respect anyone; if you do not respect your parents, you will never truly respect others.
If a child is disrespectful to their parents, they are likely to be disrespectful to their teachers – but this does not mean that all children who have been disrespectful to their teachers will end up being disrespectful as adults; many people can learn to be respectful of others after they have been disciplined as a child – even when they are children.
The way that you are treated as a child has everything to do with how you will be treated in the future; if you respect your parents, you have already earned the right to be respected by everyone else.
Children who respect their parents are more likely to respect other people in the future; children who disrespect their parents are more likely to disrespect others in the future.
If you don’t respect your teachers, you will have a hard time respecting your parents.
If you don’t respect your father, you are not likely to respect your mother, either; if you are disrespectful to both of them, how can anyone respect you?

Sample Letter to Daughter Who is Disrespectful
Hey (Daughter’s name),
I have to tell you that I’m really upset with your behavior. I know you’re a responsible girl and that you’ve never been disrespectful like this before, so what happened? You have a younger sister who looks up to you and your actions are going to influence her negatively if you keep this up.
You’re using words that are inappropriate for anyone – and especially for a young lady of your age. You know that I don’t like to raise my voice, so I’m trying not to get too loud about this.
But you’ve got a lot of growing up to do and I have a feeling you’re going to be shocked when I tell you this, but your mother and father are NOT the people who are at fault here. It is YOU. The disrespect is coming from inside of you.
You think that you can just shove everything away, but the words and thoughts are still there. You’re thinking them and saying them. And that means you need to decide to stop it.
“I will not tolerate disrespect from my daughter”
First of all, we’ve got to get this out in the open so we can start working on the root of your problem. We’ve got to deal with some serious issues about your attitude, or else I won’t be able to help you with this situation at all. Here’s the thing:
Disrespect and abuse are never acceptable. You see, I don’t want to raise you to be a disrespectful person. I don’t want you to disrespect me or your father or anyone else.
I want everyone that comes under your roof to know that we will always respect them and treat them with the highest dignity and respect. It’s true in my home as well, in my classroom, and at the workplace.
Too often, people are taught to be disrespectful. To treat others like they are second-class citizens instead of equal individuals with dignity and worth.
You see, I don’t want you to disrespect me or anyone else. And I know that we have been over this already lots of times before – but you seem to think that this is just a phase you’re going through or something that will go away once the TV show ends.
Those thoughts aren’t what you want to believe, but you’re going to have to. Too many of us go through this kind of thing at school or at the workplace – and it is treated as okay, not something that needs to be stopped.
Disrespecting your parents or me is showing a lack of respect for how much work we put in every day. But I guess I shouldn’t tell you that – because then you’ll think that I’m trying to be mean and that will make things worse.
I’m not being mean, I promise. I’m just trying to be honest with you so that we can finally get this problem fixed.
“I don’t want to be disrespectful”
This letter is actually from a mother to her daughter. Her daughter had disrespected her and she was really upset with her. So, she sent a strong message to the girl.
You can use it just to remind your kids that you love them, but they are not supposed to treat you disrespectfully or talk like that in the future.
It’s very important for adults to show their children how they feel, especially when they do things you don’t like and want something different from them.
If you want, you can write like a father if you are a mother or vice versa. It can change according to your needs. In addition, it can be written in an informal style or formal one.
Any style is good as long as it sounds good to you and your child. The main point of it is that we need to tell what we feel and how we feel when our children do not obey us.
“I love you! And I am sorry that I cannot allow anything that goes against my wishes.
I know that I have said it before, but I want you to remember something. You’re not just my child. You’re also my friend, and I do not want you to lose that special place in my heart. If you start being disrespectful, that is the end of our friendship.
“I do not like seeing you act this way.”
You are too good for this kind of thing, and you need to change your attitude right away before it is too late.
