Defiant Children
Need Understanding, Love And Firm Limits

This is something you can do. You will find the tools and resources here that will guide you in just the right direction to help your defiant child.

Any approach you use has to have a combination of love, understanding and firmness, or it simply will not work. Without the love and understanding, you don't have a connection, and the firmness will seem harsh.

Without the firmness, defiant children will walk all over you.

What Is Your First Priority?

That depends. If you have a good connection with the child, but you're not consistent with limits and boundaries, then your emphasis has to be on making your love a little tougher.

If, on the other hand, you have been too strict and controlling, and you don't have a good connection with the child, then establishing a bond and forming a loving connection is priority one.

Help Angry Children

Consider these points to help you decide:

• Does your child seem afraid of you? If so, you need to work on the positive connection with your child, and ease up on the punishment and discipline.


• Are you afraid of your child? If so, you need to begin setting more firm limits, and appropriately claim your authority as a parent (or teacher, etc.)


• Do you have a warm, affectionate connection with the child, where the child knows that you care for them? If not, you need to work toward this, because without it, no effort at discipline will be successful.


• Do you find yourself yelling at your child often? This is a common problem that parents of defiant children fall into. If this is happening, please take this anger test, to assess your own anger. You will be guided to resources for your own anger management process. You may also want to read about angry parents.


• Do you use physical punishment such as hitting, pinching or in any way causing physical pain to your child? If you're doing this and you have a defiant child, your methods aren't working. I strongly encourage you to get this program for defiant children. It is a part of the Total Transformation Program, which I believe in so much that I became an affiliate of Legacy Publishing Company, that produces the program.

The most important thing is that you don't give up on your defiant child. And don't give up on yourself. You can do this.

You can be the good parent, teacher, etc. that you want to be. And it won't just be your child who benefits. You will gain tremendously by trying to provide the balance of love and firm guidance that your defiant children need.
