Becoming a Peaceful Leader for Your Strong-Willed Child

Becoming a Peaceful Leader for Your Strong-Willed Child

I read this article this morning and thought it needed to be shared. It is simple and concise and it provides great guidance for parents who have strong-willed children with BIG emotions. It can be hard to empathize with our child’s feelings especially when their emotional reactions seem so much bigger than the trigger. In this article Janet Landsbury explains that the trigger is often just the straw that broke the camel’s back. Remembering this can help shift our mindset from “What is wrong with my child?” to “this is healthy and normal and my child trusts me enough to let these emotions out with me.” Enjoy!
