Does your child shout demands across the room and you just... go with it? You're not alone, and it makes complete sense. But in this episode we talk about why letting it slide can quietly become a habit, and what we can do instead.

Camilla shares a genuinely disastrous cafe trip with her two young boys, what she did differently the second time, and why a little preparation makes all the difference.

We also look at what "speaking respectfully" actually means for young children, plus simple scripts for redirecting rudeness calmly and without a battle.
