Brandon discusses the power of detaching emotionally from the chaos and compartmentalizing stress. He explores how parenting a strong-willed child can feel like an emotional rollercoaster. Brandon explains why some kids push emotional buttons to gain control and how parents unknowingly reinforce these behaviors by engaging in arguments. He offers strategies for reclaiming peace at home by setting consistent boundaries and refusing to feed into the chaos. Brandon challenges listeners to disengage, helping children seek attention and control in healthier ways. By compartmentalizing stress and accepting reality instead of clinging to unrealistic ideals, parents can shift their focus from trying to control their child to managing their own reactions. If you’re exhausted from constant battles, this episode offers a fresh perspective—showing that stepping back may be the most loving thing you do.
