Positive Parenting Pep Talks

In this episode of the Positive Parenting Pep Talks Podcast, I help a mom brainstorm solutions to a power struggle.

This mom has taken the class and been practicing Positive Parenting for a couple years, and still sometime the answers don't come right away.

We brainstorm ways to more firmly handle power struggles when the talking, negotiating and flexibility aren't working.

For more in depth education about how to redirect power struggles, you can take my online video class at Udemy.
