Hand in Hand Parenting: The Podcast
Society & Culture
You may have heard about how your tenacious, persistent, negotiating go-getter is developing the skills he or she needs to be a great leader in the future, but daily parenting a strong-willed child can feel like an uphill battle. All those constant requests, desires, energy and power play is a lot!
This week Abigail and Elle weigh in on why parenting a strong-willed child can feel so demanding and draining, and how you can raise your strong-willed child without so many power struggles - or the need to "break them."
On this week's podcast, Parenting the Strong-Willed child:
How an agenda won't help when you raise a strong-willed child How to harness your child's enthusiasm, desire and power Why these kids can also be super sensitive Learn how to dance between limits and freedom What to do if you disapprove of your child's nature and how to develop a mindset that helps improve things
