The Real Reason Children Use Verbal Pushback

#217 In this episode, Lisa shares her thoughts on verbal pushback from children. She covers responding when a child says they hate you, the importance of neutrality, telling your children they love them, and whether or not she recommends using the BratBusters Behaviour Board for verbal pushback.

Lastly, Lisa addresses four listener questions, discussing how to respond when a 3-year-old tells you they hate you, ways to navigate when an almost 4-year-old says parents don't love them, how to handle a toddler saying words like stupid, and strategies for addressing a 6-year-old and 7-year-old speaking disrespectfully.
