Your child refuses. You repeat the request… louder. They yell. You threaten. They slam the door. Your body tightens. You feel angry. That little voice says: I’m failing. This is the spiral. And every parent has been here. In those moments, control feels like the only option. If they’d just comply… Right?

When our nervous system goes into fight, flight, or freeze, the part of our brain that holds empathy and choice goes offline. Survival takes over.
