Why does your toddler say no to everything — even things they usually do without a problem?
In this episode, Dr. Cathryn explains the “you-can’t-make-me” reflex — a very normal (and healthy) stage of toddler development that often gets mistaken for defiance.
You’ll learn:
-
Why toddler resistance is about development, not disrespect
-
What’s happening inside your child’s brain when “no” comes out fast
-
The situations that make resistance worse (and why)
-
What not to do if you want cooperation
-
Simple, big-hearted ways to guide your child through resistance without power struggles
If mornings feel like constant pushback and you’re wondering, “Why is everything so hard?” — this episode will help you see your toddler differently and respond with more calm and confidence.
