Ep. 10: What's Normal Pushback vs. Actual Disrespect (By Age)

If you're not sure whether your child is being genuinely disrespectful or just developmentally appropriate — this episode gives you the age-by-age breakdown you've been looking for.

Not every pushback is defiance. Some of it is exactly what healthy development looks like — and overcorrecting normal autonomy-seeking behavior can actually backfire. In this episode you'll learn how to tell the difference between real disrespect and normal pushback at every age, what to do about each one, and how to teach your child to disagree with you respectfully without shutting down their voice.
