The Two Choices That Stopped Working (And What Your Kid Is Actually Telling You)
One of my TMP Times members wrote in about her 4.5 year old son. She'd been trying the two-choices script (i.e., “You have two choices - blue jacket or red one, this shirt or that one”), and he wasn't having it. She wrote: "He 'sees through' that and realizes that there is a decision behind tha...

You're Being Treated Badly Every Day. Here's What's Actually Happening.
"I'm frustrated that every day I'm supposed to accept being talked to rudely and treated poorly no matter what I do." I read that sentence three times. Every day. Not after a hard week, not during a rough patch. Every single day, moment after moment, this mom is showing up with strategies and e...

“I want my kids to speak up for themselves, but I didn't sign up for disrespect.”
On backtalk, the trigger underneath it, and the mid-spiral pivot that actually works. Last week I posted something on Threads that I thought was a pretty standard reframe. "Say it with me: My child arguing with me isn't disrespect. It's a sign they believe their voice matters in this house. Tha...

Most Parents Don't Realize They Trained Their Kid to Tune Them Out
"He will acknowledge us and keep on trucking." I read that line from one of your survey questions and honestly just sat with it for a second. This detail is such a specific kind of frustrating. At least when a child ignores you completely, you can tell yourself maybe they didn't hear you. When ...

Your Kid Is Going to Say Something Awful This Week. Here's Exactly What to Do
I'm tired of parenting content that subtly gaslights parents with messages like "Your child isn't trying to reject you or hurt your feelings." Yes they are. Whenever your child blurts out things like "I don't want to play with you anymore" or "I'm not your friend" or "You're a mean mommy", they...

She Looked Me in the Eyes and Kept Going
She saw you. You know she did, because for one brief second your eyes locked, and then she turned around and ran straight back to her friends like you weren't even there. 🫠😭🤬 You said her name and then you said it again, with that edge creeping into your voice that you hate hearing come out of y...

5 Phrases That Sound Like Backtalk But Are Actually Healthy Communication
Keisha came to the group coaching call exhausted. Her 6-year-old daughter Maya had started pushing back on everything. At breakfast, when Keisha said no more screen time, Maya crossed her arms and said, "That's not fair! You're on your phone all the time!" Keisha felt her face get hot. In her h...

Why Correcting Your Child's Backtalk Actually Makes It Worse
A mom's message stopped me cold: "My daughter is only 7 and the back talking has increased. I notice it more in the mornings and when she is tired and dysregulated. I try to have a lot of patience with her but I'm not going to lie at times I get loud when I correct her. The main thing I do is t...

When Words Wound - Helping Children Communicate Respectfully
Picture this - you’re finishing up dinner prep when your 7-year-old storms into the kitchen, fists clenched, and declared with surprising intensity: "I hate you, Mom! You're the worst!" Your mind flashed through a catalog of possible responses—from the stern ("We don't speak that way in this ho...
