Any advice for afterschool grumpiness - down to hunger. My DS (7) is very grumpy when I pick him up from school - I take him a snack but what he'd really like is chocolate, and gets a grump when it isn't. I don't like him to have chocolate very often as it makes him hyper and uncontrollable - although he is allowed it as a treat on a Friday.
As a result of grumpiness his attitude towards me isn't acceptable, ie, he says i'm annoying him. At the moment I try to ignore it and say I don't like how you're speaking to me, I won't speak to you until you talk nicely.
Any better tips on how to deal with the attitude - I don't know whether its best to ignore as I don't agree with it, but if I say anymore we end up having a full blown argument.
Help/advice please.
