Defiant Child

Many parents feel defeated, exhausted, angry and depressed by running battles with their children and adolescent teenagers.

Parents may unknowingly intrude or overload a child or teenager even when it seems to be an enjoyable outing. Parents who are rigid and rules oriented may be setting up a power struggle with their child or teen. Intimidating a child or teen is not a positive way to have a healthy relationship..

Parents can persuade, negotiate, and set firm boundaries without: yelling, attacking, domineering or getting in the child’s face. Parents can model calm healthy behaviors for their child or teen.

Some parents are so drained by the power struggle they simply back away emotionally from the child or teen and become less empathic and show less caring toward the child or teenage.

Underneath your childs defiance is an inability to share that your child really needs you in his / her life and depends on you for security and safety.
