As parents, it’s our job to make the rules and enforce them. And it’s our children’s job to challenge those boundaries and push us to our limits.

That’s why, when we try getting them to do something they simply don’t want to do, we often hear “you don’t trust me!”

Even though it’s normal and age appropriate, I get it – it’s so frustrating. How do you parent this? How do you respond to this apparent lose-lose scenario?

In this bucket emptying episode, I’m going to give you five different responses you can use when your kids say this.

So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation…
