So you have kids who are going to do things in odd or different ways.

Ways you don't agree with, they're not going to do it your way and it's going to frustrate you and you're going to want to get on them and lecture them and show them and tell them and

convince them and I don't want you to do any of those things. One, it doesn't work,

two, it frustrates you and your child and three it will destroy your relationship with a

strong-willed child so I want to show you on today's episode of the Calm

Parenting Podcast how to do this differently so welcome this is Kirk Martin I'm

gear.

And so here's what I want to talk about.

It's doing a phone consultation, a very nice couple and they have a teenage girl and so there are three things that are that

were going on in school begins that they were worried about one is that that all year, all summer long, their kids pretty much like

many of yours just slept in really late all morning long. So now it's like, oh, school time,

they're going to have to get up and go to school. Well, mom, who I'm working with, we're kind of working on,

she called, like all parents, she's like,
