Why Kids Interrupt, Argue, and Seek Attention -- Episode 63

If your child is constantly interrupting… arguing… or demanding your attention…it might not be defiance.It might be a need.I’ve had to remind myself of this in my own parenting. When I pause and look beneath the behavior, I respond differently.Interrupting often means, “I need to be heard.” Arguing often means, “I want a voice.” Attention-seeking often means, “I need connection.”That doesn’t mean we remove boundaries. It means we understand before we correct.Because when we meet the need underneath the behavior, everything starts to shift.This week’s podcast episode breaks this down in a really practical way — what’s actually going on, and what we can do about it.You’re not dealing with a difficult child.You’re raising a human who needs connection.Online Parenting Classes:Renewed Hope Parenting
