“Why won’t my child listen?” “Why does this keep happening?” “Am I doing something wrong?”
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, frustrated, or at a loss when it comes to your child’s behavior, you’re not alone, and you’re not failing.
Dr. Long works to help parents approach behavior differently. Instead of labeling children as defiant, aggressive, or inattentive, she encourages parents to ask a more helpful question: What skill hasn’t been taught yet? Many of the behaviors that exhaust parents are not acts of disobedience, but signals that a child is missing the skills they need to succeed.
This podcast is designed to shift the way you see behavior, and the way you respond to it. Through practical, research-informed conversations, we’ll help you move beyond yelling, punishment, and power struggles and toward strategies that actually work. You’ll learn how to teach skills through repetition, reinforcement, and connection, so you’re not just reacting to today’s behavior, but building the foundation for tomorrow.
The goal isn’t quick fixes. It’s confident, intentional parenting that creates lasting change for your child and for you.
