Summary

Your kids are going to do things that are annoying, irritating, and sometimes just wrong. You will be justified in getting angry and correcting them. But I want you to turn what usually separates you from your child…into a bonding opportunity to draw you closer. I want you to deal with your own triggers and control yourself…because that will change their behavior more quickly. Take advantage of the Back-to-School Sale at https://celebratecalm.com/products/ and get 35 hours of strategies to stop the power struggles. Email [email protected] with any questions.
