Q&A #2: A Defiant 4-Year Old

In this episode, we tackle a relatable parenting challenge: how to respond when a 4-year-old defies boundaries and creates conflict with an older sibling. We explore practical strategies for handling these moments with empathy, including modeling kind responses, setting clear expectations, and using positive reinforcement. Learn how to foster cooperation, teach problem-solving, and create a calmer, more connected family dynamic.
