Have a Defiant Child?
- Realize that understanding your defiant child is just as important as loving him.
- Avoid yelling at your child. Yelling only fans the flames of defiance.
- Resist power struggles. Defiant children believe they are equal in authority to adults. This makes it futile to try to beat them in the power struggle game.
- Learn the art of being calm, firm, and non-controlling.
- Reinforce your child's compliant behaviors. The more positive attention he gets for being compliant, the less negative attention he'll look for by being defiant.
