How can you build harmony with your strong-willed child? Listen to experts and fellow parents share their stories and tips to overcoming daily obstacles.
Finding openness in your language and behaviour with strong children
In this episode of the Understanding Your Strong-Willed Child Podcast, I speak with Jack A. Ori, a visibility and parenting coach.
Whenever you come upon a new situation with your child, be it a change in their needs, the attraction they feel to a gender preference, or their willingness to be transgender, a parent needs to have space too. Being supportive towards your child, spirited or not, is one thing, but allowing yourself the space to process your feelings is a key component to building a strong relationship.

Celebrate when your strong-willed child asks you 'WHY". That is when their horizons begin to open. Instead of feeling threatened by the why, you might want to either give it back to them or explore the answer.
