Copa one thing I used to do way way too much is engage with a lot of back and forth talking with my son. There is a lot of value in keeping things very simple and short and resisting the temptation to explain and talk through things a lot.
Even now with Difficult Child doing so much better I still keep a lot of my responses very brief.
That is for me. I am very likely not to be thrilled with in depth conversations. This is a boundary I have set and I like it even with my easy child.
See if that helps you too.
