Hand in Hand Parenting: The Podcast - A podcast by Hand in Hand Parenting with Elle Kwan and Abigail Wald

You just dropped one child at his playdate. Now you have 15 minutes to scoot across to the pool for your younger kid's swim lesson. Easy, right? Actually no. Your child is refusing to scoot. He doesn't want to put on his swim clothes. He won't go to the pool. "I HATE swim class," he yells defiantly. He isn't going anywhere. Today on the podcast we share kind ideas and firm but gentle tools that will help you decide how to respond when your child gets defiant.
