Why Your Child’s Fierce Autonomy is Good & How to Get Husbands/Siblings To Understand #583

Calm Parenting Podcast

If you misunderstand your child’s motives and need for autonomy, it will provoke fierce defiance, pain, and pushback. I want to show you exactly how to help kids who don’t always want to be helped; help siblings who may not understand why you give your child accommodations; and help a spouse who is reluctant and thinks you’re just letting your child get away with things. Get personal mentoring with me through the PDA Parent Program at https://celebratecalm.com/pda/
