Do you have a child who just HAS TO complete this project before they go to bed, even though it’s now well past bedtime? You reasonably say no to their request and then it sets off a huge power struggle, meltdown and argument. So how can you handle these situations without losing your mind or your relationship? How can you get kids to be MORE responsible? Listen to this episode and you’ll have several options and scripts.

Do you have a child who must touch the hot stove, resists what you want first, refuses to do chores or anything the easier way? Who is not immediately obedient, doesn’t respond to consequences, appears self-centered, won’t show math work, does the bare minimum to get by, won’t push through when things get hard? Good! I want to show you how to work with these traits instead of fighting them all the time. So you can actually enjoy your kids and your family life.
