Why Kids Say 'No' Instantly (You Won’t Like My Response!) #443

So you ask your child to do something, even something simple. Put your shoes on, Take the trash out. Brush your teeth. Put your dishes in the sink. It’s not hard to do. If they just did what you asked them to do, they’d be done in like 20 seconds! Instead, they react with a sigh, a groan, muttering something like “that’s dumb,” or “I don’t want to.” I want to show you a different way to respond so your kids actually do what you say…without the big fight!
