How to Successfully Raise a Strong-Wille...

CONNIE ALBERS
About this episode

Strong-willed children do not want to surrender; they want to have their way. Therefore, they often view your instructions as mere suggestions. If they win the argument or don't have to do what you tell them to do, then they win. The problem is that doesn't prepare them for life. You are the parent! So, how do you successfully raise a strong-willed child?

 

Listen into this episode for Connie's suggestions on raising strong-willed kids (or strong-minded future leaders)!
