Lesson Overview

3.24 – How to Avoid Power Struggles: Power struggles happen when parents and children both fight for control. The key is not to win but to lead. Parents who stay calm and consistent avoid feeding the battle. Offering choices, using humor, and setting clear expectations prevent escalation. It’s important to remember that control is not the same as respect. When kids feel heard, they are more willing to cooperate. Avoiding power struggles means prioritizing connection over correction. It transforms tense moments into teachable ones. A parent’s calm authority models emotional regulation. The less a parent argues, the more a child learns self-control. Ultimately, avoiding power struggles preserves the bond and keeps discipline effective.
