116. When Your Kid Won't Take "No" for an Answer Mar 29, 2023

Show notes

One of the most frustrating situations in parenting is when your kid just won't take "no" for an answer. Most of the time, our instinct is to explain back to them why we set a particular boundary and try to make them understand our reasoning.

The problem with this response is that we're looking for our kids' approval and they are just not going to give it to us.

In this episode, I'll discuss the dangers of being a people-pleasing parent when our kids won't take "no" for an answer. I'll explain why being firm with our boundaries actually teaches our kids resilience, models healthy behavior, and ultimately makes them feel loved.

I explain why the best thing we can do when we're triggered is to get neutral. I'll give you some tools to show up for your kids in a neutral way and get away from fear-based parenting.
