When your kids dig in their heels: Power struggles and peaceful solutions

Every parent knows the feeling—your child refuses to budge, and suddenly it’s a battle of wills. In this episode, we unpack what’s really happening when your kids dig in their heels and how to break free from the power struggle. Learn why moments of defiance often come from a child’s need to feel powerful, how your own feelings of powerlessness can fuel the tension, and practical ways to restore peace through choice, connection, and grace.

This week, practice giving your kids opportunities to feel powerful in healthy ways—and watch how it transforms the atmosphere in your home.
