Hey mama, do you have a strong willed kid? Are you curious if they're defiant, have a behavioral disorder, or are just here on this planet to make your life miserable?! I get it, I've been parenting a strong willed child for 7+ years now and I know the roller coaster that it is.

In this episode I break down the 5 key markers I've noticed with strong-willed kids. I have a feeling you'll recognize several of these with your own kiddo.

I also invite you to take a look at The Strong-Willed Language inside of The ResponseABLE Parenting Community. In this ongoing series I will break down the ways to connect, communicate and support yourself and your strong-willed child so that we can stop the screaming matches, reduce the power struggles and actually enjoy having the time with these amazing kids!
