Ever feel like you're constantly in a power struggle with your child? Do they push back, demand independence, or insist on doing things their own way? You may be parenting a choleric child. These kids are natural leaders, driven by efficiency, justice, and determination. But without the right approach, they can come across as defiant, stubborn, or overly intense.
In this episode of The Catholic Coaching Podcast, we’re breaking down:
✅ What choleric children value most and what triggers them
✅ The biggest mistakes parents and teachers make with strong-willed kids
✅ Practical strategies to channel their leadership, drive, and decisiveness
✅ How to discipline effectively without crushing their will or causing rebellion
We’ll share real-life coaching insights and examples to help you guide your choleric child in a way that fosters confidence, respect, and long-term internal motivation.
