Your child may not respond the way you want right away. And that does not mean you failed. It also does not automatically mean that your child is being defiant or manipulative or trying to push your buttons. It means your child is responding the best way they know how in that moment.

As the parent, that's not something to take personally. That's information. And leadership starts with how you respond to that information. W…
