Description
On this episode, Mandy dives into the psychology behind the ultimate parenting trap: power struggles. Learn why it takes two to play tug-of-war and why simply telling your child "because I said so" often makes the argument worse. This blueprint reveals that even when a fight starts over access to a toy or escaping a chore, it almost always morphs into an attention seeking behavior. So tune in and find out how to recognize your own role in the reinforcement loop, why your kid follows you when you walk away, and how to finally "put down the rope" without being a permissive parent!
