What if it isn't refusal?
When your child doesn’t do what you’ve asked, it’s easy to assume they’re refusing.
But what if the problem isn’t willingness? What if they don’t yet have the skills to do what’s being expected in that moment?
Compliance asks, “Will you do it?” or "Do it NOW"
Skill-building asks, “Do you have the skills to do it yet?”
That shift doesn’t mean removing expectations. It helps you identify what your child needs to learn, practise or be supported with.
In my free webinar, Stop the Yelling and Find Out What Works Instead, I explain how understanding what’s behind your child’s behaviour can change the way you respond.
