What's Your Default Move When Your Child Pushes Back?
If you've tried different approaches and they only work for a day or two, this quiz will help you spot what happens that keeps resetting your progress and how to build a follow-through that actually sticks.
It can feel exhausting when the same situation keeps going sideways (bedtime, homework, mornings, getting out the door), especially when you're tired of everything being so hard.
You may start the routine or give direction, and then your child pushes back, stalling, whining, protesting, arguing….
In that moment, you keep searching for the approach that will fix the situation so everyone can move on. But that's when the plan usually slips. That discomfort you feel when your child resists and pushes back convinces your brain to abandon any plan before it can work.
This quiz helps you choose one plan and stay steady long enough to build real momentum.
No perfect answers needed, just pick what you do on a real Tuesday.
