Your Parenting Long Game

Episode 352: Inside the Mind of a Strong-Willed Child (and Their Parent)


Listen Later

Often when our kids refuse to do what we ask, it can seem like they are being deliberately defiant or strong-willed. But often in these situations, our kids are having a hard time with something beyond their control…and our frustration with them only makes things worse. Fortunately, when you take a closer look at what is really going on for a "strong-willed" child, you can see what they really need in order to feel and act more positively.

In this episode, we'll look at several real-life situations from the dual perspectives of a child and parent. You'll learn:

  • Why children with big emotions display more "strong-willed" behavior

  • What's really happen when a child is acting resistant or defiant

  • How we can can spend less energy addressing this behavior and expand their ability to handle things not going their way in the future
