Oh my goodness thank you first caller and thank you Dr Cloud! It’s amazing how simple this is but how difficult in reality to have the faith to believe it will work and the conviction to stick to your guns. Thank you for pointing out the importance of not constantly nagging - set the boundary, clearly, maybe remind once or twice, then let reality (consequences) speak for themselves. It’s better preparation for how life actually works, too. Love the show, thanks for sharing your objective and wise insight Dr Cloud
Dr. Cloud, I have a question I would tack on is what if in that scenario you do what you can, you present two options and he doesn't help with yard work. So you do take away the video games, but cannot physically hold him at the picnic table? I can walk away and I can separate myself and close a door, but if a kid is sitting at the door or in the living room pitching one and I have to wait it out in another room then it seems like he is able to set the boundary with his fit and hold me hostage basically as I wait it out.
PS - Would love an update on how process is going. Also, your son is really smart! Where is he learning the guilt trip language from? I don't think I would play anything adult or psychology stuff around him.. His guilt trip language sounded like an adult. 😆
He is a child… all children whine… his emotions and feelings are still developing and it is up to the parent to set the boundary and help them develop in a healthy way.

How I have paid so dearly for the way my parents neglected to train me to process the consequences before acting on my choices! So much pain.
THANK YOU!
These are great 👏🏻🔥

Absolutely great advice. Thank you.
