When our kids melt down, snap back, or seem resistant, it's easy to think, "This is bad. I need to make this stop." But when we see our child's behavior as a threat, our nervous system gets pulled into the struggle too, and everyone stays stuck longer. The real shift that shortens hard moments doesn't come from controlling behavior. It comes from changing the meaning we give it.

In this episode, you'll hear:

Why your child's negativity or resistance is a sign of discomfort, not defiance
How the story you tell yourself about your child's behavior determines whether situations escalate or resolve
What you need in order to help kids' behavior improve more quickly
