Your Kid Isn't "Oppositional Defiant." Here's What's Really Happening

Why doesn't my 3 year old listen? Why does my toddler hit and throw things? Rick and Madeline take three real posts from struggling parents and break each one down using behavior science. Inside: the four questions to ask before you react, the four functions of behavior, why "oppositional defiant" and "mean" are terrible words for a toddler, and how timeouts can accidentally reward the behavior you're trying to stop. Plus a homework assignment you can start tonight. Send us your own situation: podcast@starbornthrive.com
