PDA, Defiance & Explosive Behavior: Why Your Child Won’t Listen (And What Actually Works)

from Learn to Speak Kid · host Bonnieandthomasliotta

If your child refuses to listen, avoids demands, or melts down when asked to do simple things… you’re not alone.   Many parents today are being told their child has PDA, ADHD, or ODD — and that the solution is to avoid triggers, reduce demands, or give in to keep the peace.   But what if that approach is making things worse?   In this episode, Bonnie and Thomas Liotta break down: – Why children resist being told what to do   – The hidden cause behind demand avoidance   – Why labels don’t solve behavior problems   – How to create cooperation without punishment or control     This is a shift from reacting… to leading.   👉 Learn how to guide your child effectively: https://thepathtoparentingparadise.com/
