A kid says, “No, I don’t want to hug grandma or say hi to my Mom’s friend or do this assignment.” The compliant child is labeled the “good” girl or boy. The child who is honest, speaks up, and has the courage to say no is often labeled as difficult and defiant. Kirk shows you why it’s critical that you teach your kids how to say, “No” respectfully.

Thanks!” Of course you have done all the RIGHT things and yet it still doesn’t work with this child. In this important episode, Kirk gives you insight into your child’s brain and heart—and your own triggers—that could just change your relationships and home.
