Your Child is Not Disrespectful, They Are Dysregulated.
About this episode
This episode discusses how to interpret children's meltdowns as communication rather than defiance, emphasizing emotional regulation and connection in parenting.
For a long time, I thought my daughter's biggest meltdowns meant I was failing as a parent. Then one afternoon at the American Girl store, everything changed. In this episode, I share the story that transformed the way I see children's behavior and explain why what we often label as "defiance" is actually communication. I'll show you what's happening in your child's brain during those difficult moments, why kids often save their hardest emotions for the parent they trust the most, and how learning to respond with connection instead of control can completely change your relationship. If you're tired of power struggles and wondering why your child won't listen, this episode will help you see their behavior through an entirely new lens.
