## Resource

Do you ever find yourself in those familiar power struggles with your child? Maybe it’s the daily screen time battle, that feeling of being rushed, or just their amazing, strong will challenging you at every turn. If you're nodding along, please know you're not alone, and there absolutely is a path to more peace and cooperation in your home. In this episode, I had a wonderful conversation with Jackie, a mom to a spirited nine-year-old named Sophia. Jackie bravely shared her struggles with Sophia’s “authoritative personality” and the daily challenges of getting cooperation, especially around turning off the TV. We dove deep into how our own upbringing can unconsciously shape our parenting and, most importantly, how focusing on connection can truly transform these everyday friction points into opportunities for growth and a stronger relationship. We talked about practical ways to build that connection, even when life feels incredibly rushed. It’s not about grand gestures, but those small, consistent moments that fill your child's cup and yours too. Join me to hear all the insights and practical tips shared in my chat with Jackie; it’s a conversation that could truly shift the dynamic in your home. In This Episode, You'll Learn: 👉 The importance of daily child-led, focused play 👉 Screen Time Peace: Engage before ending shows 👉 Our Tech Use: Model healthy electronic habits 👉 How to rethink "No": Try a planned "ditch day." 👉 Why Connection Boosts Cooperation: Build strong, loving bonds ======== 🔗 Interested in group or 1:1 Coaching?
