AG...I think the situations that TS and I are referring to would be an ongoing behavior that isn't corrected out of a child.
What you are referring to is a child experimenting.
He experimented with a behavior, you corrected it. You did the right thing.
What we are talking about is children that exhibit bad behavior who are never corrected. If this same child had called you those bad names, and you didn't do anything about it, you would have reinforced his bad behavior by being passive about it. That's what we would mean by disrespect being the parent's fault.
Again, EVERYTHING is training to a child, whether active or passive.
