You validate your kid's feelings. You explain the reasoning behind every rule. And your kid still melts down anyway. Child development specialist and author Dr. Siggie Cohen joins JoAnn to explain the missing piece: why kids speak the language of emotion while parents default to logic, and exactly what to say when bedtime, screens, or "get ready" turns into a nightly fight.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why explaining the "why" behind a boundary doesn't get your kid to comply
The real reason "how many times do I have to tell you" backfires every time
How to validate your kid's feelings without caving to what they want
The exact language to use during transitions like bedtime and screen time
Why staying calm and confident, not permissive, is what actually helps your kid through a meltdown
