When they say " No, I'm not going to" here's the best way to respond
In this short parenting advice video, the speaker addresses the common scenario where children resist getting dressed or going to school in the morning, often responding with "I don't want to go to school! No, I'm not getting dressed!" The speaker critiques typical parental reactions—dismissing the child's feelings or offering logical explanations—and explains why these approaches fail because young children's brains lack fully developed regions for reasoning. Instead, the speaker recommends an empathy-based response: acknowledging the child's feelings without trying to rationalize them, such as saying, "I understand it feels cozier to stay at home" or "I know getting dressed feels difficult." The video positions this technique as one of several strategies the creator teaches, and invites viewers to follow for more tips or comment if they found it helpful.
