Summary

A parent emails Janet with the subject line: Help! Strong Willed Child. She feels frustrated, exhausted, and completely overwhelmed by her 7-year-old's unmanageable behavior that's been continuous since he was about 3.5. She and her partner have made repeated attempts to stop his rudeness (and a host of other behaviors he knows are unacceptable), to get him to follow directions, shower, dress, and even eat. Janet encourages these parents to consider the why—why is their child acting this way? And why does his behavior cause them to react as they do? Janet explains how reflecting on those questions can bring clarity and help these parents shift the dynamic with their child in a positive direction.

0:00.0	Hi, this is Janet Lansbury. Welcome to Unruffled. A parent reached out to me via email with concern
0:10.8	about her child who's seven years old and apparently it feels like he's
0:17.9	running the show according to this parent she describes him as strong-willed and she says that she and her husband are utterly frustrated and exhausted.
0:30.0	Children with this type of temperament and there's a range. It's not like you're either strong will or you're not.
0:36.0	I have to say I have a special fondness for these types of children. I have one. I've worked with many. So what do we do when our
0:46.7	child seems to be taking over? Their behavior is rude, disrespectful, out of control, and nothing we're trying, no kind of response
0:56.4	that we're giving seems to be making a difference.
1:00.0	That's what I'm going to be going over in this podcast.
1:09.0	Traveling with your baby or toddler is always an adventure. It can be a lot of fun for sure, but packing and hauling all the bulky equipment you need is not.
1:16.4	Baby Quip has a simple solution. Rent it. Welcome to the world of stress-free travel,
1:21.3	whether you're going by train, plane or automobile,
1:23.5	baby quip eliminates the need to pack and drag all that gear through the airport
1:27.3	or take up trunk space. It's there when you need it.
1:30.1	Baby quip offers a huge assortment of clean, safe, and insured baby equipment to create all the comforts of home.
1:37.0	Full-sized cribs, strollers, carriers, car seats, toys, books, high chairs, baby baths, and so much more.
1:44.0	We all know from experience that babies and toddlers don't tend to adapt well to sudden changes in
1:48.1	routines or surroundings, and when your baby doesn't sleep, no one does. A full-size crib, maybe some familiar books, can make
1:55.8	all the difference if you're traveling this fall, so everyone gets to rest, relax, and recharge.
2:01.9	Right now, my listeners can get $20 off your reservation of $100 or more with
2:06.7	code unruffled at babyquip.com. That's baby QUIP.com and use promo code unruffled to get $20 off today.
2:18.0	Enjoy the journey with baby quib.
2:20.0	So I think I found a new favorite thing, the organic cotton napper from Baraby.
