Q&A: When I tell my child to stop, they just dig their heels in more—what can I do?

>>> Enrollment is now open for Parenting by Design, my simple, evidenced-based coaching program for parenting your sensitive child in a way that increases cooperation, discharges power struggles, and rebuilds their trust in your authority–all while supporting your child's mental health and your own.      Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...     3:50 - At 3-years-old you need to physically be a container for your child, so you might need to be more intentional about what environments are conducive for that during this stage.   7:28 - Try to incorporate moments where you notice the good and use positive reinforcement to supplement the discipline you need to do.   9:38 - When we discipline a child, they may feel ashamed, guilty, or embarrassed, which can cause them to become more dysregulated (but that doesn't necessarily mean we are doing something wrong).   13:48 - "A kid needs a target if we want them to hit that target."   17:20 - It's okay to give your child an out to allow them to save face when they are doing something "wrong."     ✨We want to hear from you!
