6 year olds push. It’s developmental. Their prefrontal cortex is still cooking, so following through on commitments and accepting natural consequences? Not their strong suit yet. But here’s what I’ve learned: making an agreement and then letting it slide teaches her that my words don’t really mean anything. That if she asks enough times, I’ll fold. So I stay calm. I stay playful. I keep my poker face. Not because I’m trying to “win.” Because I’m teaching her that agreements matter. That I can hold a boundary and still love her. That she’s safe even when she’s disappointed. Connection doesn’t mean rescuing her from everything. It means staying solid while she figures out how the world works. And honestly? The more consistent I am, the less she tests. She’s learning. Slowly. But she’s learning. Wanna know what boundaries I have for my 6 year old ?
