Bonus Eps: Why Your Child Finds The Word "NO" So Difficult
Why can one small "no" lead to such a big reaction? If you've ever wondered why your child seems to fall apart when you say no to another biscuit, ask them to leave the park, or switch off the TV, this mini episode is for you. In just a few minutes, I unpack what's really happening inside your child's brain and nervous system when they experience disappointment. You'll learn: Why young children find the word "no" so overwhelming.The science behind emotional regulation and why it takes years to develop.Why what looks like defiance is often a child struggling with disappointment.How understanding your child's nervous system can completely change the way you respond.This episode isn't about avoiding the word "no." It's about understanding what happens after we say it, and why that understanding can transform the relationship we have with our children. Want more support?
