“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.”
