We’ve all been there… That moment when your child refuses to do what you ask. Maybe they blatantly ignore you. Maybe they stare right at you while doing the exact opposite. You feel your emotional temperature rising. And what do you reach for? Control. Cue the threats, shame tactics, judgments, and fiery tone of voice: “If you don’t do what I say right now, then…” “Stop being like that!” “How could you do such a thing?” All signals that say, “ I’m in charge. I’m in control. Not you. ” And what happens next? Maybe your child folds – but the connection is gone. Or maybe they fight harder, pushing back with even more intensity. Either way, it’s a rupture. You both walk away a little more frayed. When we feel out of control, we try to control our children. It’s a protective impulse, rooted in fear. Deep breath. Rewiring these patterns isn’t easy. It takes work on every level – mindset, heart, and body (especially the nervous system).
