Do you feel like you’re repeating yourself all day — and your child resists everything from breakfast to bedtime?

In this episode, Bonnie and Thomas Liotta talk about “Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA)” and why it isn’t even a recognized diagnosis in the DSM or ICD — yet parents are being given extreme advice that creates more chaos, more fear, and less independence.

You’ll hear why “serve them like royalty” parenting backfires, how the right/wrong power struggle loop traps families, and what’s actually missing: life skills and the right environment. You’ll learn a simple, practical shift that reduces meltdowns without giving up leadership — asking permission and offering parent-approved choices that help kids feel autonomy while building responsibility.
