Strong-willed, stubborn, defiant, opinionated, headstrong.

This is how I like to think of myself for recording a podcast during a heatwave.

But it could also be some of the words you use to describe your child. If so, this episode is for you!

Some children are naturally headstrong. They can be a force of nature, and some days parenting them can feel impossible… especially if they inherited these character traits from you! In this episode, I’m going to give you seven tips, to help you overcome some of the challenges you face day-to-day.

So find a comfy seat, pour yourself a cuppa, and enjoy the conversation…
