Summary
Why Kids Choose Consequences Over Simply Doing What You Ask
You give a strong-willed child a simple instruction. If they would simply do what you asked, they’d be done in 7 minutes. But they would rather argue for 7 hours, days or weeks and lose everything they own. It’s infuriating and frustrating! Kirk shows you WHY your kids do this and HOW you can change this.
