Power Struggles Explained: Why Kids Push Back and What to Do - 342
from Less Drama More Mama Hosted by Pam Howard
You ask your child to turn off their iPad and get ready to leave the house, but instead of action, you get a heavy, dramatic exhale that says, "Do I have to?" You ask again, this time firmer. Nothing. And just like that, what should've been a simple request turns into a full-blown power struggle. In this week's episode, I'm breaking down what's really going on beneath those exhausting battles and sharing simple strategies to help you shift the dynamic without losing your authority (or your sanity). Because it's not about the shoes, the iPad, or leaving the house. And it's definitely not just about defiance. Something deeper is happening in these moments, and once you understand it, you can stop getting stuck in the same frustrating cycle. If you're done with endless back-and-forth arguments, and ready for less resistance and more connection, this episode will show you how to break the cycle without yelling, nagging, or frustration. https://lessdramamoremama.com/342
