EP417// Parenting a Strong-Willed Child Without Losing Your Mind: Gentle Strategies with Michelle McVittie

Parenting is challenging in itself, but when you have a stong-willed child it can feel impossible.  Simple tasks like getting up and getting to school on time can feel like a battle and turn every day into chaos.  It’s hard to be a patient parent in those stressful situations, but that is exactly why I wanted to introduce you to our guest, Michelle McVittie.  Michelle and I connected when we both spoke at the Busy Mom’s Blueprint Summit.  Michelle McVittie is a child life specialist and parenting coach with over two decades of experience in pediatric medical and mental health. She is the author of “I Quit! Oh Wait I'm the Mom” and the parenting expert for her local news station in Hamilton, Ontario CHCH Morning Live.  Pull up a chair and grab your coffee as Michelle and I talk about simple mindset shifts we can make as parents that can completely change the dynamic in your home, and the importance of consistency for setting boundaries with love.
