Why You Do NOT Want Kids to Be Immediately Obedient: Raising Fearless Leaders, Not Fearful Robots. #636
Do you ever feel like you are doing something wrong because your strong-willed child doesn’t readily comply?

I want to show you a better way—so you can trade fear-based discipline for trusting connection that motivates your kids to listen, without fear. P.S.

Why “Name It To Tame It” & Punching Pillows Don’t Work For Intense Kids #635

These traditional calming tools can actually backfire—leaving your child angrier and feeling incapable of managing their emotions. Learn why narrating your child’s emotions is one of the worst things you can do…and instead walk away with actionable, word-for-word scripts that diffuse big emotionsand give your child confidence in their ability to self-regulate.
