When Kids Push Back: Practical Ways to Handle Tantrums, Set Firm Boundaries, and Build Cooperation Without Yelling (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780557820115)

What if your child's pushback isn't simply defiance, but a sign that they need clearer boundaries, stronger connection, and better tools for handling big emotions?

Parenting can become exhausting when simple requests turn into tantrums, arguments, stalling, whining, or repeated "No!" responses. When Kids Push Back gives parents practical ways to handle those difficult moments without yelling, threatening, giving in, or turning every disagreement into a power struggle.

Leah Marlowe explains why children resist limits, routines, transitions, and instructions, while showing parents how to respond with calmness, confidence, and consistency.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

• Handle tantrums and emotional outbursts more calmly
• Set firm, healthy boundaries without becoming harsh
• Reduce unnecessary power struggles
• Encourage cooperation without constant bribing or threatening
• Respond to whining, arguing, stalling, and limit-testing
• Help children manage frustration and strong emotions
• Follow through consistently while protecting connection
• Build routines that make family life calmer and more predictable

This is not about raising a perfectly obedient child. It is about helping children develop emotional regulation, responsibility, respect, and cooperation while helping parents feel more confident in difficult moments.

You can be loving without giving in, firm without shouting, and consistent without becoming controlling.

If you're ready to replace daily battles with clearer boundaries, calmer responses, and stronger cooperation, get your copy of When Kids Push Back today and start creating a more peaceful home.
