Shownotes

Today we’re speaking about strong willed children and parenting these children.  What do parents need to survive the daily grind?   Sometimes, a highly spirited or gladiator child can leave a parent feeling depleted, frustrated and lacking any joy or zest left for life.

You’ve probably heard that moms need self-care and feel that you don’t have time for it.  What if we told you that the way you take care of yourself affects the results in every area of your life and that it’s worth making the effort.  In fact, you are doing an injustice to your family by not putting yourself first!  

Listen to learn about how to approach parenting when your child is not that easy to deal with and how to care for yourself in the process.

Be sure to listen for:


  • What is a gladiator child?
  • What characteristics do strong willed children possess
  • How parenting a strong willed child could affect your health
  • The use of the connected parenting approach to get more cooperation from your child
  • The neurological benefits connected parenting has on you and your child
  • The top self-care strategies that work with busy moms
  • How to stack your self-care habits to stay consistent
  • How to care for yourself as a mom when you are in survival mode
