If you're tired of threatening consequences that don't work and using a "calm" voice that makes them angrier, this is a must listen. You’ll get the exact 5-step de-escalation roadmap and a creative script that help you and your child feel in control again. Please share this one. ** Tomorrow CAN be different from today, without the guilt and tears.

You are constantly taking the emotional temperature of the home, forced to be the referee between siblings, between your spouse and strong-willed child. You get accused of coddling your child when you're really coddling the judgmental grown-ups judging you. You are courageously breaking generational patterns. I am so incredibly proud of you! I hope this episode helps you relax into this fact: you don't have to do anything else to be a great Mom. ** Tomorrow CAN be different from today, without the guilt and tears.
