132. How to Be the CALM to Your Strong-Willed Child's Storm: Moving Beyond Theories to Application with Omaya + Andrew

Parents to a 4-year-old strong-willed son and an almost 2 year-old daughter, Omaya + Andrew are here to share the biggest mindset shifts they internalized that made it possible for them to go from constantly splitting up their family to avoid setting off their strong-willed child to watching their sibling relationship thrive and taking both kids hiking as a solo parent!

They reflected on what they've done well to parent together as true partners, processing the information in real time and tagging each other out in the moment. 

But most importantly, they hope by hearing their story you'll not only feel incredibly validated, but realize how possible it is to make sense of all the theories when you have individualized insight.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVERED...

• The problem with spending your energy trying to rationalize with someone who’s behavior is by definition, irrational
• What it really means to respond to the emotion, not the action
• How empowering it is to move from avoidance to acceptance of your child's BIG emotions

DON'T MISS:

• What to do with your fears that your child is the *worst* child of all the kids you know
