Course overview
Lesson Overview

6.52 – Navigating Defiance With Empathy: Defiance often masks frustration, fear, or a need for independence. Meeting it with anger fuels resistance; meeting it with empathy opens understanding. Parents who listen before reacting show respect for their child’s emotions. This does not mean allowing disobedience but recognizing the message behind it. Empathy helps de-escalate tension and fosters cooperation. When children feel heard, they become more receptive to guidance. Over time, empathetic responses replace power struggles with problem-solving. Parents teach that communication is stronger than conflict. Handling defiance with compassion models emotional control. It turns moments of rebellion into opportunities for trust.
