Navigating Power Struggles
The transition into a new school year can often lead to power struggles between parents and their children. Parents frequently resort to ineffective tactics such as yelling or bribing when faced with difficult behaviors like tantrums or refusal to comply with routines. These reactions are often automatic responses that hinder calm, loving interactions and escalate conflicts instead. Recognizing the patterns of these power struggles and understanding the underlying mindsets can help parents shift their approach, fostering a more positive and cooperative atmosphere at home.
