The last time you asked your child to tidy the crayons, they smashed the whole box on the floor and ripped up the color sheet.
You have to psyche yourself up when you need them to turn off the TV, because…BOOM! Epic meltdown.
Forget about asking for a hug. Your child wriggles away the minute you place a hand on their shoulder.
Does every request you make send your child into a raging meltdown?
Now you can stop walking on eggshells. (As well as Lego bricks.)
When your child behaves like this, it’s a signal they need you closer than ever.
But how do you get close when your child acts like a tiny tyrant, doing everything they can to push you away? When it feels hard to even be in a room with them?
You Need To Get Close When Your Child Pushes You Away. Here’s why.
This week, Abigail and Elle talk about a special tool you can use when you want to transform meltdowns into closeness and co-operation. Find out how to maximise the tool to stop power battles and turn your child’s difficult, defiant behaviors around.
