234: What Your Doctor or Therapist Really Thinks About Strong-Willed Kids


Listen Later

Little did I know that when I stepped into a therapist's office years ago, not only would my life be forever changed - but that I would go on to empower thousands of parents to cultivate healthier relationships with their children through the revolutionary Mastermind Parenting program. What started as a journey of self-discovery has evolved into a life-altering mission - but the story isn't over yet.

“Boundaries are hard for all of us, but if I could learn this, anyone can learn this.”

In this episode, I welcome an esteemed panel of professionals who bring their personal experiences and extensive knowledge to the conversation. These experts include pediatricians and a psychologist, all of whom are also Mastermind Parenting members. With their combined expertise in child development, medical and mental health, the panelists provide valuable insights into the importance of effective communication and boundary-setting for parents navigating the challenges of raising strong-willed children.

It all started when I walked into a therapist's office years ago, unaware of the concept of boundaries. This would become a significant turning point in my life, as the therapist recommended reading books on codependency and learning about boundaries. With a mix of disbelief and curiosity, I delved into the topic, gradually realizing the importance of effective communication and boundary-setting.

In this episode, you will be able to:

  • Uncover the underlying factors of strong-willed child behavior and how to navigate it effectively.

  • Master techniques for fostering open communication and establishing firm boundaries in parenting.

  • Develop tailored parenting strategies to celebrate and accommodate individual differences in children.

  • Delve into holistic solutions to address behavioral challenges and foster child growth.

  • Discover the benefits and impact of a supportive community and extensive resources in your parenting journey.


And much more!
