Does your child's behaviour confuse you? Does most of the parenting advice you are given make things worse? Do you feel like you are walking on eggshells?
Some children haven't read the parenting manuals. When their parents try to be firm and consistent, things don't go as they expect. They try to catch their child doing well, but then their response to praise is to say they'll never do it again. Things go very wrong, very fast.
It can leave parents feeling like no matter what they do, nothing helps.
It's not your fault. You have the wrong tools. You need to understand your child's nervous system - and work with it to help your child (and your family) thrive.
In this course, Dr Naomi Fisher will explain the psychology of demand avoidance. What is it, how does it affect the nervous system - and importantly, what can parents do? You'll end with a clearer idea of what is going wrong and some ideas as to how to help.
This course is available to watch for 6 months after purchase.
