Oftentimes we see resistance in others as an act of willful defiance, but that may be missing the mark and lead others to shut down or dig their heals in further if they feel invalidated.

Instead, ask nonjudmentally, with curiosity: "What's the threat?" Or, for younger children, "What are you worried about?" or "What do you not like about that?"

Make sure to validate their emotional expression: "that makes sense" or "thank you for telling me, I know that must feel scary" AND cheerlead them: "and I know that you can handle this. Let's think of some times in the past where you felt scared and faced your fears anyway"

Resistance is protective, and when we can identify the exact threat, we're better able to address it effectively.

Sometimes just naming the fear and feeling heard is all we need to gain the courage to take the next step.
