Defiant but Not Broken: Guiding Children with Conduct Challenges Toward Healing and Growth
A compassionate roadmap for parents raising children with conduct disorders, oppositional behavior, and emotional dysregulation.
Raising a defiant or behaviorally challenged child can feel like navigating a storm without a compass. The outbursts, resistance, and emotional distance can leave even the most dedicated parents feeling exhausted, isolated, and unsure of what to do next.
You'll discover:
- How to identify the difference between defiance, trauma responses, and conduct disorder
- Strategies for building trust, emotional safety, and strong attachment
- Tools for managing aggressive behavior without power struggles
- Techniques for promoting empathy, emotional regulation, and accountability
- Guidance on working with schools, therapists, and support systems
- Self-care practices for parents navigating guilt, burnout, and frustration
You are not alone. Your child is not broken. And with every step, you're building a path toward growth, resilience, and hope.
