## Resource

Our kids often see your boundaries and consequences as a challenge to overcome, not as something to avoid! They won’t give in…and neither should you. But this can lead to never-ending power struggles. I want to show you a much better path to get your kids to actually take responsibility for their actions. Without the drama or exhausting tug-of-war over even easy requests. P.S. We can share the Calm Parenting Bundle with teachers and other caregivers so they know exactly how to help your strong-willed child!
