When Your Toddler Says 'No' To Everything

7 min•7 januari 2026

Why does your toddler say no to everything — even things they usually do without a problem?

In this episode, Dr. Cathryn explains the “you-can’t-make-me” reflex — a very normal (and healthy) stage of toddler development that often gets mistaken for defiance.

You’ll learn:

  • Why toddler resistance is about development, not disrespect

  • What’s happening inside your child’s brain when “no” comes out fast

  • The situations that make resistance worse (and why)

  • What not to do if you want cooperation

  • Simple, big-hearted ways to guide your child through resistance without power struggles

If mornings feel like constant pushback and you’re wondering, “Why is everything so hard?” — this episode will help you see your toddler differently and respond with more calm and confidence.
