Nicole’s 3 year old son has become so defiant since the birth of his baby brother who is now 10 months old. He says no to almost everything: putting on shoes, taking a bath, eating meals, brushing teeth, the list goes on. If you have a child like this and are tired of the escalations and all the conflict, listen along for some strategies to make this part of parenting so much easier.
This week on The Parenting Mentor:
-
Empowering language that reminds your child that you too want their company and that you value your quality time together.
-
Powerful tools that approach the power dynamic struggles in a way that not only teaches your child but reduces stress for you.
-
Tangible strategies and games that foster new skills such as time management in your child.
“We know they want our time and attention ‘mommy, mommy, mommy’ And you're like i know you want to spend time with me. I know, I know, I know.
