It’s so hard raising a strong-willed child! Traditional parenting truths like being consistent don’t work with this child. You’re clear with expectations, your child pushes back, and you’re left wondering, “Do I double down right now, or do I let this go?” Then you’ll second guess yourself or be judged. I want to show you how to confidently choose when to be wise, not just “right” in everyday power struggles. P.S. Want to know exactly what to do in the toughest situations?

Getting your child the support they need at school shouldn’t feel like a fight. But for millions of families, it does. In Zero Reject, an investigative podcast from Understood.org, award-winning journalist Anya Kamenetz looks at how changing federal policies are reshaping special education — and what’s at stake for families trying to access the support their children are legally entitled to. I encourage you to listen to this special episode to learn how to advocate more effectively for your child.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
“If you would simply do what I ask you to do, you would be done in 7 minutes. But you would rather argue with me for 7 hours or days or weeks or years and lose everything you own!” That was our son!

I have watched countless families ripped apart, spending 18 years fighting with their kids over something that doesn’t matter. It destroys both your child’s confidence and your relationship…so neither you nor your child enjoy their childhood. With zero upside.
