The “I Don’t Care” Myth: What’s Under the Behavior + What Parents Can Do

When your child snaps, withdraws, rolls their eyes, or says “I don’t care,” it can feel like rejection—but often it’s communication. In this episode of The Steadfast Podcast, Jessie Evans (owner of Steadfast Christian Counseling) sits down with Emily Coomer, LPC to help parents slow down in the moment, understand what’s happening underneath the behavior, and respond in ways that build emotional safety and secure attachment. We talk about: Why “pushing away” can happen most in safe relationships The “anger iceberg” and the feelings underneath (fear, shame, overwhelm, sadness) How secure attachment is built through consistency + repair, not perfection How to validate emotions without validating harmful behavior Practical phrases and tools for pausing before you react If you want support for your child (and practical tools for you as the parent), we’d love to help.
