How have they been rude? In what circumstances? What was your response? What have you tried so far?

Are the expectations of behaviour and the consequences for not meeting those expectations well known by them? Have you applied the consequences in a consistent manner... matter of fact, no yelling, no discussion other then to let them know why the consequences are in place (keep them safe, keep property safe, treat others kindly, etc.) and what they should do differently next time? Are the consequences you have used reasonable and age appropriate? Do you apply them after you have calmed down (when possible) so that you can explain it simply to them or are your responses many times a knee jerk reaction? Do your children have any health considerations that might play a role in their behaviour?
