Power. Control. Parenting.

Which of these 3 doesnt belong?

My guest today is Wendy Snyder, a positive parenting educator who reminds us, Control is not the goal of parenting.

Obviously there is a balance of power in a parent-child relationship, but taking the power or fighting over who has power isnt the right game to play.

Wendy will teach you:

- Why yelling is sometimes what parents do when we feel powerLESS
- Why its so difficult to parent cactus kids - aka those who want to be in power
- Steps to reduce your reliance on fear, force, bribery, rewards & nagging to influence your kids
- Powerful positive strategies that not only help you self-calm, but also work to decrease push back from your kiddos
- How to get to the root of your childs power seeking misbehavior so you can effectively redirect them towards better behavior

If youre struggling with a powerful child or wishing you had a roadmap to calmer parenting, this one is for you!
