"You Can’t Make Me!" 5 Scripts When Kids Choose Harsh Consequences Over Cooperation & Reflexively Say No #652
If your child's default reaction to simple requests is immediate pushback, even if that results in a harsh consequence—or if they're actively rejecting your family’s values around food, faith, and daily routines—I promise it’s not usually defiance. And if you don’t understand WHY they ask WHY, you’ll get stuck in endless negotiations and power struggles. In this episode, you’ll learn five scripts and simple action steps to move from constant conflict to cooperation. P.S. If you have one of these kids, you need our Black Friday Sale!

"This is dumb." "You can't make me." "I'm not doing that!"

I want to show you a counter-intuitive strategy that works much better—complete with real-world examples for kids of all ages. Casey gave me initial bluster for saying we’re starting the Black Friday Sale today—but he created the special web page for it below anyway.
