Your Parenting Long Game

Episode 335: When Your Child Resists Doing Boring or Uncomfortable Things


Listen Later

It can be frustrating when our children won’t do what they’re supposed to do: brush their teeth, finish their homework, or complete a chore that we’ve been asking them to finish. While it’s common for kids with big emotions to resist things that feel boring or uncomfortable, it can be exhausting for parents to find “just the right thing” to motivate them to move forward. The good news is, understanding one thing about resistance can reduce it tremendously. 

 

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

  • Why kids with big emotions are so likely to resist doing boring or uncomfortable things (what’s going on in their brain) 

  • How to recognize this type of response 

  • How to get kids on board with reducing the resistance
