Episode 325
There is nothing worse than feeling helpless as a parent, and it’s easy to feel powerless or out of control when our kids won’t listen to what we have to say. Often when we feel powerless, we end up trying to control our children more… which only reduces our influence! Fortunately, there is a simple strategy that can help you improve the impact of your words so your children can actually hear the lessons you’re trying to teach them.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why most people dig their heels in when people try to change them
- How to give our kids with big emotions what they need to be able to hear us
- A simple strategy to increase our influence that requires us to spend less energy, not more
