If you’re playing tennis and you put your racket down, you’re no longer playing tennis. Put your racket down. Arguing back and forth creates a power struggle, but you have the power to stop it. Create an agreement about when you can revisit the discussion. Is it when the child is sitting in the chair? Is it when they stop a specific behavior? Mandy tries to avoid the word calm and instead provides a specific action that represents calm. She shares about figuring out the cause of behavior and also administering appropriate consequences that don’t unnecessarily escalate or elongate the problem. Mandy’s videos on power struggles can be viewed on TikTok and some are linked below.
The advice Mandy and I share and discuss today can be used in a wide variety of settings by both parents and professionals and for both typically and non-typically developing children. If you’re on TikTok please check us out. You can find me @TurnAutismAround and Mandy @TheFamilyBehaviorist.
