The 5 Shifts of Parenting
Parenting a strong-willed child or “gladiator child,” as I like to call them, can be so challenging.
They are feisty, powerful children who are often built to be leaders, but have an intense counter-will and feelings that are way too big for their little bodies.
Many of the practical, sensible parenting models that work beautifully with your other kids, backfire with your gladiator.
Join the Connected Parenting Seminar where Jennifer will share the 5-Shifts you must know to bring out the best in you and your child.
