Are you parenting a strong-willed child who can sometimes be an angel and other times have you pulling your hair out? I hear you. This episode is a little insight into our reality parenting a strong-willed daughter and some tips I have learnt along the way. Come and listen to Episode 23 - How to stay sane when parenting the strong-willed child – four tips from the parenting trenches.   Do you have other tips and tricks to maintaining your sanity in the parenting trenches with a strong willed child?

“ … my kids are faced with all these challenges, which causes emotional reactions in them, which can sometimes trigger emotional reactions in me. And so I'm not always executing where my intentions are as a parent. I'm not always able to reach the standard I set for myself and my parenting. But here's the thing, I'm OK with that. I'm human. I am not a robot. I don't always do things perfectly.”   This week on the 3D Parent Podcast, I am taking you on a little journey of how I got to where I am today as a parent coach.  My fears surrounding taking parent coaching on as a career, and how I coach myself when I realize my parenting isn't aligning with my intentions as a parent.   I will be sharing some of my best tips and tricks to help you gut check yourself as a parent, as well as giving you a glimpse into my everyday life and struggle as a parent of four.  I'm not perfect, I am human just like you, striving to be the best parent I can be for my children. Sometimes I miss the mark, and that is okay, as long as I learn and try to do better.

The best parenting advice that Hillary Frank receives doesn’t come from parenting gurus, but from friends and podcast listeners who use their creativity to flee moments of desperation. In Hillary’s book, one mother threatens to sing in public anytime her daughters argue. Another mom allows her daughter to play with tampons to get a few minutes on the toilet alone. These are just a few of the gems available in Weird Parenting Wins: Bathtub Dining, Family Screams, and Other Hacks from the Parenting Trenches, a collection of unusual techniques parents use in stressful situations to calm their children and themselves. These “weird parenting wins” work for parents with children of all ages. From using The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song to lull a colicky infant to convincing her kids that Toys ‘R’ Us is a membership only club, parents in Hillary’s book are as ingenious as they are eccentric. They use their tricks to foster fun, inspire their kids to diversify their appetites, stop sibling rivalry, cultivate independence, develop manners, and open up. Not only does Hillary focus on kids’ needs, she also intersperses anecdotes to help moms and dads keep their cool, find time for intimacy, and enjoy the insane, heartwarming journey. Frank is in conversation with Jane Marie, a Peabody and Emmy Award-winning journalist and former producer of This American Life.
