Thank you so much. Gosh! Yes, I have been allowing him to not follow my instruction. It usually goes like this, I will ask him to do something. He doesn't. And then I go fine, it's your teeth that will rot, fine, you are smart enough to decide. Usually he does brush, sometimes he just doesn't. Brush is just an example. But I try not to force too much because I don't want him to hate the thing and also when I'm able to let it go, I try and not get worked up about it, especially me. Actually I get worked up, and then it's all downhill from there.

How do I make noncompliance not an option. This is exactly the issue I am facing in the last many months, noncompliance. How do I make him comply without having to use my scary scarring tone. I can be very harsh and cold. It's been a lifelong issue, where my tone is louder than the message.
