Demanding. Bossy. Defiant. Sound familiar? Here's how to take back the lead with a kid who thinks they're running the show.
Your kid needs to have the sense that you’re in charge, because that’s what makes them feel secure and taken care of, says MacNamara. That means trusting your instincts to make decisions about things like bedtimes or whether they’re allowed screen time in the mornings and then upholding them. Claiming an alpha stance also means controlling your emotional reactions to difficult behaviour—don’t lose your cool and start screaming when they don’t listen or allow yourself to be reduced to tears.
