What if I told you that the reason you often give up on enforcing a household rule with your child or teen is because they're using science against you? And what if, by understanding this science, you could finally stop giving up RIGHT BEFORE they give in?
In today's episode, I'll show you why you're giving up too soon when your child or teen pushes back on your rules or boundaries...and your young person was just moments away from complying.
There's a game-changing concept that will help any parent successfully implement new boundaries and rules. Once you hear it, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it.
This episode will explain why so many parents struggle to follow through with new rules and boundaries and provide the key to achieving lasting behavior change in your child or teen.
By the end of today's episode, you'll:
- Understand the critical concept of the "extinction burst"
- Recognize the four stages of behavior change
- Have practical strategies to stay consistent and see positive results
Imagine feeling like a confident parent when you know to expect pushback from your child or teen - AND you know how to deal with it in a way that makes it a non-issue.
