Description

This week, I'm doing something a little different: Instead of picking the topic myself, I'm answering parents' questions.

These questions demonstrate challenges that many of us face behind closed doors — and I'm sharing practical ways to handle them with more confidence and calm.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to respond to two specific situations as a connected and confident Leader Parent
What to do when children respond negatively to positive feedback
Why kids with big emotions frequently complain of being bored but resist any suggestion you make

--
