Calmly Parenting the Strong-Willed Child :: Kirk Martin [Ep 69]

Apr 20, 2015, 11:40 AM

Several husbands listened to episode 62. So in this episode Kirk starts with a couple of tips for the dads.
Then we get personal and I get advice for dealing with the boys in our home who say “I don’t want to” more than “yes, ma’am”. The solution has more to do with me than with them…ahem.

what we chat about:

  • Kirk’s advice for dad, using a football analogy
  • One small thing couples can do to show kids connection
  • Kirk’s helpful definition of a strong-willed child
  • Practical tips to help direct your bright children looking for ownership
  • How your tone affects your children’s response.
  • Making the transition from the old controlling way to new calm parenting–setting new expectations
  • Some of my new favorite phrases to use when parenting
