Episode 311

We want to be able to influence our kids. We want them to listen to us, and we want to be able to calm them down so they can work through situations with less drama. So it can be challenging when our attempts to influence them don’t work… or even make things worse! In this second episode of a two-part series, we’ll discuss what you need to become a powerful positive influence with your children so you can bring more peace to your home, even if that seems impossible now.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The type of influence we usually have with our children – and why it doesn’t motivate better behavior, moods, and attitudes
• The two qualities that you need if you want your children to listen more readily and calm down more easily 
• What it looks like when you do improve your influence (even if your children don’t realize it’s happened)
