From Defiance to Cooperation with More Ease
A workshop for parents of kids ages 2–12 who are often resisting, ignoring, or pushing back when asked to do something.
You ask once, then again… and still get ignored
“No” comes quickly, even for small things
Getting through the day can feel like a constant push and pull
It’s especially hard when it happens in front of others
In those moments, it’s easy to wonder if something isn’t working
You explain, hoping they’ll understand and cooperate
You stay calm and patient, even when it’s hard
You give reminders… and then more reminders
You try being more firm, but it doesn’t feel like you
You want to stay connected, but still feel stuck in the same patterns
Start using tools that help your child respond with less resistance.
