The typical parenting strategies don’t work with strong-willed kids. So you get judged by family, teachers, even your own spouse. During the holidays, extended family may have strong opinions about what you’re doing wrong while your child’s spirit gets crushed being compared. I give you 10 concrete strategies to be confident instead of defensive, to get your family to see your child differently and come alongside to actually support you. **You can even share all our programs with family with our Black Friday Sale!
