  • Summary

  • When you’re hoping your child will change their behavior for the better, it can be easy to double down on nagging, pleading, and lecturing your child in an effort to convince your child to see things the way you see things. Unfortunately, you might notice that this doesn’t get you very far. The more you push, the more resistant and defensive your child becomes! Nanika offers some tips for encouraging motivation for change in your child from a place of acceptance, compassion, and collaboration.
