If standard parenting advice - reward charts, gentle scripts, consequence ladders, and time-outs - keeps blowing up in your living room, this masterclass is your official permission slip to drop the guilt. In this 15-minute masterclass, Therapist and Parent Coach, Bethanie Chatterton breaks down why children with threat-sensitive nervous systems (ODD, PDA, and high-arousal profiles) react to direct demands with explosive defiance, meltdowns, or shut-downs.

You’ll discover why standard top-down behavioural control feels like an existential attack to a threat-sensitive brain; and the exact clinical shift required before your child can safely follow your lead.

🌿 WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS MASTERCLASS:
• The Scriptbook Paradox: Why standalone low-demand scripts fail when delivered with underlying urgency or a secret motive for compliance.
• The Neurobiology of Defiance: How perceived loss of autonomy triggers an immediate amygdala hijack, taking executive functioning and logic offline.
• Co-Regulation Over Control: Why self-regulation is a skill built entirely on repeated co-regulation, and how to become the steady anchor in your child's storm.
• The Relational Economy: Why every demand is a "withdrawal" and why connection must always precede correction.
• Quiet Stamina: How to hold firm, unhurried boundaries without raising your voice, catching fire, or giving in.
• Real-World Case Study: A slide-by-slide breakdown of 8-year-old Leo’s screen time transition, demonstrating how front-loading rapport bypasses fight-or-flight.
