Heather and David, parents from the Midwest, take us along in their journey of parenting their strong-willed five-year-old daughter. 

Just a few months ago, they were drowning; overwhelmed by her tantrums, feeling like parenting was heartbreaking, stressful, and defeating more days than not.

NOW, they are parenting with hope, optimism and confidence, let alone 90% less tantrums overall!

Tune in to hear the things that were hard to admit, why they believe they benefitted so much from this work, and the nuggets and takeaways they want every listener to learn alongside them.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVERED...

  • The moment Heather knew they needed help
  • How David began to relate to his daughter in new ways
  • The mindset shifts that led to a quick turnaround

DON'T MISS-

  • The challenges of being in a field like Heather's (speech language pathology in an elementary school) where you *SHOULD* know how to do this & struggle at home with your own child
