When a child manipulates you, it’s understandable to feel:
frustrated
exhausted
judgmental
But current thinking suggests you might best help your well-being and your child's growth by establishing an approach that's:
detached: taking your emotional connection and responses out of the situation
firm: not caving to their persuasion (validating them, but restating your position)
compassionate: mindful kids are human, too, and may lack the right words or approach to getting what they want
