Slowly or quickly, all parents experience this: It starts when the child is around two. "No!, no! I don't want to" screams - and clings to the floor. It is not strange that parents do not know how to react to these strange behaviors that manifest themselves at the slightest sign of defiance: If they try to calm it down, it explodes ("its screams pierce your ears"). Others close themselves off and do not accept conversation. And the parent is at a dead end: What should they do? Which path should they follow? Dr. Jan-Uwe Rogge (with his many years of scientific experience and the enlightening confessions of children) always shows the way out in their upbringing problems - especially in this very difficult phase of defiance. With many examples, he argues that the child's defiance is a reaction to the tensions that are created (within it) as it develops and changes at a very fast pace, from 2 to 5 years old - something that parents find difficult (and rightfully so) to observe - resulting in them "blocking" its path.
