Moms and dad, you're also busy running your kids everywhere, working, completing a thousand to one tasks, that you don't always have the energy for extra self-care activities.

So why not collapse into bed as soon as you can a few nights a week, wrapped in cozy, earth, luxurious softness?

rested and refreshed. Cozy Earth's bamboo sheets naturally wick away heat and moisture from your

body, helping you sleep several degrees cooler. It's been a game changer for us. I just got Mrs.

It is really hard to raise a strong will child. These are kids who want to do things their own way.

If you push them, they will resist. They'll do the opposite of what you want them to do. They don't care about consequences. And so you're going to get frustrated. If you're married, you're going to fight over this because one of you, usually the husband, but not always some of the moms out there, you're like this, right? You're going to go, my way or the highway.

I'm going to show this kid who's boss. Good luck with that because they're fight or flight kids. They may fight you for a while, create more division in your marriage, and then eventually they'll just shut down and not do anything. And you're going to be like, well, we'll just do consequences. You're like, they don't care about it. And so one of the other parents, you may have swung too far the other way and you're too sweet, and now your child doesn't listen to you. They actually don't respect you sometimes. And it just doesn't work. And you find yourself kind of getting run over. So how do you strike that balance? We don't want to be authoritarian,

but we don't want to be too soft. So that is what we're going to discuss on this really important episode of the Calm Parent parenting podcast. Welcome.
