When a child repeatedly says “no,” refuses everyday activities, avoids demands, or becomes stuck around expectations, it can be difficult to understand what is really driving the behavior—and even harder to know what to do next.
Exploring Causes and Approaches to Help Children With Persistent Refusal and Avoidance offers a practical, child-centered framework for looking beyond the behavior itself and considering the many factors that may contribute to persistent refusal and avoidance.
