Ep 7: Pick Your Moment

A college student kept saying he was registering for classes, right up until the deadline passed. In this episode Dr. Ed Callahan shares what his mother learned about when to bring things up: a question fired at the doorway lands as a demand, while the same words after a meal, when he is already talking, keep the door open. Why timing matters as much as the message, why it is physiology and not manipulation, and the question every parent can borrow before stepping in: what is the worst realistic thing that happens here?
