Summary
The Danger of Labels: Help, Don’t Fix, Your Child
What if we labeled naturally compliant children with RFCD: Rule Following Compliance Disorder and asserted that their very nature is a disorder that needs to be fixed? Well, we’ve done that to our own kids with disastrous consequences. In this challenging and insightful podcast, Kirk shows you how to change this perspective and build your child’s confidence.
Get The No B.S. Program and have an actual game plan ASAP that will repair and rebuild your relationship and trust with your strong-willed child.
