If your child's default reaction to simple requests is immediate pushback, even if that results in a harsh consequence—or if they're actively rejecting your family’s values around food, faith, and daily routines—I promise it’s not usually defiance. And if you don’t understand WHY they ask WHY, you’ll get stuck in endless negotiations and power struggles. In this episode, you’ll learn five scripts and simple action steps to move from constant conflict to cooperation.

P.S. If you have one of these kids, you need our Black Friday Sale! Visit https://celebratecalm.com/black-friday/ to stop the power struggles NOW. Email Casey@CelebrateCalm.com with questions or financial assistance.
