Course overview
Lesson Overview

5.68 – What to Do When a Child Pits You Against Each Other: Children sometimes test boundaries by seeking inconsistent answers. When this happens, parents must respond calmly and unitedly. Agreeing in advance on common rules prevents manipulation. If uncertain, parents can defer decisions until they consult privately. Presenting solidarity teaches that teamwork cannot be divided. Addressing the child together after resolution reinforces respect. This approach transforms testing into a learning opportunity about integrity. Over time, unity eliminates the tactic’s success entirely. Children learn honesty and respect when they see parents cooperate under pressure.
