Listen Later

Tired of constant arguments, pushback, or defiance from your strong-willed child? You’re not alone—and the usual discipline tactics may be making things worse.

Your child isn’t a curse—they’re a leader in the making.

In this episode of Enlightening Motherhood, Emily Hamblin talks with parenting coach Wendy Snyder about how to shift your mindset and your strategies when raising a strong-willed, neurodivergent child.

Learn why yelling and punishments backfire—and what to do instead. You’ll get practical tools to reduce power struggles, build true cooperation, and start seeing your child’s strong will as a strength, not a problem.
