Description

Do you find yourself getting louder and louder when your kids don’t listen to you?

Are you constantly fighting to get them to do what you ask?


In the second of our two part bucket-emptying special, I am helping you manage your child’s non-compliance: when they just say no or, more annoyingly, they ignore you completely!


Last week we talked through some of the main reasons why your children do this, and if you haven’t listened to that yet, spoiler alert: they’re not naughty.


On this episode, I give you six practical things you can do right now to manage those moments when you just want to pull your hair out.


So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation…
