About this episode

Parenting a strong-willed child comes with its own realities, and we add meaning to each moment without even realising it. I chat with Danielle Bettman from Parenting Wholeheartedly about cracking the code of their personality. We cover narrating objectively so you respond with calm instead of impulse, collaborative problem solving, and what to reconsider about discipline if you want lasting change.
