  1. Fart
  2. Lie
  3. Shut up
  4. Stupid
  5. Dumb
  6. Butt
  7. What (When beckoned)
  8. Yeah (When responding)

The following gestures are passive aggressive forms of disrespect and should not be tolerated.

  1. Arm Folding (when being addressed)
  2. Eye rolling
  3. Lips poked out
  4. Sucking teeth

As you may recall from a previous post, you must replace inappropriate behaviors with appropriate behaviors. The same applies to words and gestures. For example, you can substitute “fart” with “pass gas.” Be mindful not to substitute one inappropriate word with another inappropriate word. For example, don’t use “retarded” as a substitute for “stupid.”
