Episode 304
We want our days to be filled with peace and connection, but those of us raising kids with big emotions know that’s not always the reality. Even when we try hard to fix the arguing, complaining, and general resistance to our requests, it can feel like nothing reduces the drama long-term — and sometimes, it seems like our efforts are actually making things worse.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why some of your current parenting strategies may not be working, despite your best efforts
- The real reasons behind seemingly-unbreakable cycles — and what to do about it!
- The lifelong benefits (for us and our kids) of breaking negative cycles for good
