I think I want to get to the point where the sound of my seven-year-old son slurping doesn’t make me cringe. But, part of me also wants him to just stop doing it and I feel an obligation as his parent to teach him about “table manners.” Can you help with bridge thoughts here? Or am I missing something obvious in my Unintentional and Intentional models here?

F: Irritation
A: Correct him every time he makes the sound
R: He’s annoyed at me, I’m annoyed at him, no one enjoys their meal
