Cynthia Tobias says she was a strong-willed child growing up. The author of You Can't Make Me says understanding your strong-willed child is the key to gaining obedience and cooperation in the home.

To Cynthia Tobias, tough love and the strong-willed child is an interesting concept. She says it's needed at times, but as a parent, you can't go too far. But how to strike that balance? The author of You Can't Make Me (But I Can Be Persuaded), says as a strong-willed young woman, it was all about how her parents communicated to her what they wanted her to do. She says shoving a "bony finger" in her face rarely worked. But weak, apologetic parenting will have your strong-willed child trying to f

Your strong-willed child will most likely be strong-willed about getting on devices and using social media and other technology. Cynthia Tobias says this may be a time that bargaining with your teen could work. She says limiting time on devices and video games is a good idea, but when you want to allow them time, maybe you can have them do chores, reading or going somewhere. Cynthia says a giving the strong-willed child a little bit of control and choice can go a long way. For more from Cynthia

Your strong-willed child may present some challenges at home. You are not alone if you have one. Cynthia Tobias suggests that you use the magic word with your strong-willed child. The author of You Can't Make Me says the magic word will work 8 out of 10 times, which is pretty good right? That's because it lulls your strong-willed child into compliance before he or she knows what's happening. As a former cop, Cynthia says that giving and taking orders are just part of the job for law enforcement

The magic word in parenting is “OK.” Dr. Cynthia Tobes explains that when a child resists, instead of forcing compliance, we can pause and ask, “OK, tell me why you don’t want to?” This small shift invites cooperation instead of conflict. It shows respect, helps children feel heard, and turns power struggles into connection. Do you think most parents listen enough before correcting? 🎙Speaker: Dr. Cynthia Tobes | Conscious Parenting Psychology
