Is Your Toddler in a Power Struggle With You?

Seven quick questions — about two minutes. When a toddler suddenly fights you on everything, it can feel like they’re angry at you. Usually it’s something gentler underneath: a brand-new sense of self testing how much power it has in the world. This reflects on whether you and your child have slipped into a power struggle — and what quietly eases it. It’s a reflection on the dynamic between you, not a verdict on your child.

This is a reflection tool, not a test or a diagnosis. There are no “good” or “bad” parents here, and nothing labels you or your child. Your answers stay on your device — nothing is sent, saved, or shared. ← all assessments

Always trust your gut over a score. If anything about your child — or about how you’re coping — worries you, regardless of what this reflection says, your pediatrician (or your own doctor) is the right first call. toddcovery is educational and does not diagnose.
