When Kids Fight You on Everything

We’re on YouTube Music! Watch and listen at this link: What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood

We've all had times when our kids resist every. single. thing. you tell them to do. When is it part of a larger problem, and even if it's not, how do we manage the exhausting defiance?

Amy and Margaret discuss:

• How to keep track of a kid's defiance in order to figure out where it's coming from
• Gut-check questions to ask yourself to ascertain where ODD might be what's happening
• the "two free requests" approach

Here are links to some of the resources mentioned in the episode:

• Katherine Lee for VeryWell Family: Effective Ways to Handle Defiant Children
• Royce Flippin for Additude: Why Is My Child So Angry and Defiant? An Overview of Oppositional Defiant Disorder
