Ask Your Child If You Have Pathological Demand Acceptance? #18
Many parents going through our PDA Parent Program said this question has helped them see their child with PDA in a completely different way and changed their relationship. A Dad said he’s been so busy trying to please others that he was embarrassed about his son’s behavior—this helped reframe how he saw his child’s demand avoidance. This is a short, but powerful episode I hope you’ll share with others.
