Episode 372: What Morning Battles Might Be Teaching Your Child About Themselves

When a child won't get dressed in the morning and moves slowly, ignores you, or seems resistant, of course you'll feel frustrated and pressured, especially when you're already running late! But what looks like defiance or laziness is often something different. In this episode, you'll learn what's actually happening underneath this pattern and how your response impacts both your child's self-esteem and your own confidence as a parent.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why repeated assumptions around "simple" tasks can chip away at a child's belief in their capability
• How to hold firm limits while communicating respect, so boundaries strengthen rather than shame
• How protecting your own nervous system protects your child's confidence
