Is Your Toddler Testing Your Limits? Here’s How to Turn No into Cooperation.


Have you ever resorted to reverse psychology just to get your strong-willed toddler to brush their teeth? What if there were a kinder, more effective way to gain their cooperation? In today’s episode, I share some practical strategies to foster a harmonious and cooperative relationship with your little one.


Today, I connect with Lauren, a mom from Indiana who is facing the very relatable challenge of dealing with a strong-willed three-year-old. We explore why some classic parenting tactics like bribes, threats, and punishments might feel like short-term wins but can backfire in the long run. 


In this Episode:

  • Navigating a strong-willed toddler's defiance
  • The dangers of bribes, threats, and punishments
  • The importance of deep, connected relationships
  • Utilizing empathy, special time, and play
  • Practical play ideas for tough moments
