Thomas Gordon

“When children strongly resist attempts to modify behavior that they feel won’t interfere with the parents’ needs, their behavior is no different from that of adults. No adult wants to modify her behavior when she is convinced that it is not hurting someone else. Adults as well as children will fight vigorously to maintain their freedom when they feel someone is pushing them to change behavior that is not interfering with the other person.”
