Are you tired of constant power struggles with your child? Does it feel like every little thing turns into a battle? If you're longing for a more peaceful way to navigate these conflicts and maintain a strong connection with your child, you're in the right place.

Today, I’m tackling the tricky topic of power struggles. First, let me reassure you that they're incredibly common. Children, especially, crave autonomy, which can often lead to clashes as they assert their independence. But here's the good news: power struggles don't have to destroy your relationship. We'll explore how to shift from a place of control and authority to one of empathy and understanding. I'll share a client's story about transforming a laundry battle into a fun, connective experience using play. It's about working with your child instead of against them, fostering cooperation and strengthening your bond.   

If you're ready to turn power struggles into opportunities for connection and create a more harmonious home, hit play!
