Why Your Child Listens to Everyone But You (And What to Do About It)  
Podcast: Peace and Parenting: How to Parent without Punishments
Published On: Tue Jun 02 2026
Description: Why does my child listen to everyone but me? I remember being there myself. I was a teacher and counselor for thirteen years before I had kids, and I could not get my own oldest daughter to cooperate for five minutes. I thought, I am trained for this. What is wrong with me? Nothing was wrong with me. And nothing is wrong with you.The truth is, what most of us were taught about cooperation is wrong. Cooperation isn't something you demand, it's something you grow. In this episode, I'm walking through the neuroscience of why your child saves their worst behavior for you, the five most common cooperation drains in our homes, and the five-step road map I teach my clients to flip the dynamic. I'll also share the story of a mom whose seven-year-old went from a nightly bedtime war to brushing his teeth before she even asked, and the one small shift that changed it.Download our Guide to CooperationJoin us on our Weekly Training this Thursday at 9:30 am PT live on Facebook & ZoomInterested in coaching?
