This Talk Is For You If ...
- You’ve been told your child is “defiant” or “oppositional”
- Traditional parenting strategies just don’t work
- You suspect your child might have PDA — Pathological Demand Avoidance (or, as we prefer to say: Persistent Desire for Autonomy)
- You’re ready for tools that actually work — and a way to feel more connected
What You'll Learn in the One-Hour Session:
- What PDA really is — and why it’s so often misunderstood
- Why kids with PDA can’t “just do it” — even when they want to
- How the Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS) model helps reduce power struggles and build trust
- Real-life examples and proven strategies
- Live Q&A to answer your specific questions
