Did you know that the parenting tools you learn on this podcast also work with other strong-willed creatures? I'm chatting with Avery “favorite daughter” Rubenstein this time about pack leadership and what she has learned from “Ben, the strong-willed horse”. I think it's incredibly helpful to practice the tools you are learning here by applying them to other areas of your life…your work, your adult relationships and even your relationships with animals. You see, pack leadership is about becoming and remembering the person you were meant to be…the kind of person who shows up again and again with curiosity and badassery. I think you're going to love our banter on this episode as well as Avery's insights about using MMP tools with animals and understanding her equine therapy clients…many of which are on the Autism spectrum.

Strong-willed kids aren't “difficult”—they have intense emotions, a strong sense of control, and deep sensitivity that require understanding, not fixing. Common parenting struggles include emotional outbursts, rigidity, and feeling like your child acts differently at home versus in public. Supporting strong-willed children involves creating accommodations, teaching emotional regulation, and shifting the perspective from defiance to emotional depth. Understanding neurodivergence can help both parents and children thrive by embracing different brain wirings rather than viewing them as obstacles.

This is a lecture series that was done by Ustadh Abu Mussab in his youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@OneWayToParadise Al-'Aqeedatul-Waasitiyyah is the famous treatise written by Shaykh-ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah that clarifies the beliefs of Ahl-us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah regarding Allaah's Names and Attributes (wherein neither should alterations be made nor negations nor attributing a state of being nor of likeness to creation). The renowned scholar Shaykh al-'Uthaymeen explains this treatise and provides valuable points of benefit.

In today's solo minisode I'm talking all about strong-willed kids. I've been talking a lot about this in my emails and on my social media lately because I know it's a topic that many parents struggle with. Strong-willed kids are the ones that I like to call fair fighters - they're always keeping score and want to make sure everything is right in their world. But this can cause them to easily spiral out of control the second things don't go their way. I want to share three key points that come up over and over again in one-on-one and group coaching in regards to strong willed kids.If this episode resonates with you, consider signing up for my group coaching program all about raising strong willed kids and emotional regulation for kids and parents starting November 21! The link to register is in the Resources. Does Your Kid Value Approval or Power? We set up an expectation and kids usually comply.Strong-willed kids don't seek or value approval from authority or parents. It's not important enough for them.Instead they value power but they don't have the capacity to hold all of it. They try to find out how much power they can have until they start to lose control.Strong-willed kids will then look for an anchor to keep them in a safe state when they start to lose control.Explanations Don't Work We try to give kids the tools and the choices to understand why things are happening. Explanations don't deter a strong-willed kid from their actions.An explanation gives information but they are not lacking information. It may be a bigger issue of impulse control, tolerating frustration, sensory overload, or something else.If there is a lack of information, the next time they face something similar the outcome will be different. Get to the root of what skills they need to develop to reduce the behavior you don't want to see. Self Regulate YourselfIt's incredibly triggering for parents when a strong-willed kid is emotionally out of control. It's important for the parent to self regulate themselves when the child is unable to.They are looking for someone to be calm in the storm.We have to create a really consistent, predictable structure through boundaries. This structuring takes time and will take a while to set the expectations and make changes where needed. Teaching them how to regulate their emotions is an important step to help your child foster their inner free spirit and communicate their needs and emotions.Resources: Sign up for my Group Coaching Program starting November 21: stan.store/theparentingreframe/p/group-coaching-raising-strong-willed-kids-51n42Joe Newman podcast episode: https://theparentingreframe.com/podcast-episodes/episode-49-a-raising-lions-q-a-with-joe-newman/ Sign up for a FREE 20 minute discovery call: https://stan.store/theparentingreframe/p/free-discovery-call-ck6qfBe sure to sign up for my Substack newsletter for longer and more specialized parenting content: https://albiona.substack.com/ I hope you found this episode helpful; for more parenting tips, check out my website and blog for more information. https://theparentingreframe.com/Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theparentingreframe/Follow me on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@theparentingreframe

On the show today, Dan tries to sneak in clues for the new one second song but they might have been edited out, only the best ears will be able to decipher the clue. Clint has a confession that leave the team in shock. He tries to back it up with some audio but Dan and Meg is not having a bar of it.

Have you been told you need to break, harness, control, nip in the bud, or any other such phrase in regard to your child's will and you're feeling the pressure to conform? We have some godly encouragement for you instead today on this episode about how Strong Will Does Not Equal Defiance. Strong will is another way of labeling the determination, drive, and spirit that does not give up easily. How the strong will is applied is what makes the difference. Is the will coming from a place of rebellion against God and what He wants or rebellion against cultural pressures and sin?Philippians 2:3-4 Pray that God will help them to SURRENDER their will to HimRomans 6:13 (NIV) - Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. Correction and not condemnation, especially in the words we speak over them.Do not want to speak bondage, death and destruction over their wills and lives but instead speak freedom, life, and build them up. Not interested in teaching a child to CONTROL their own will because they are incapable of doing so in their own strength. Commit instead to leading your children through discipline and discipleship to SURRENDER their will to the Lord who loves them most. They have a Savior who loves them and has a better way for them than anything they could ever manipulate or try to control on their own. We should seek to humbly discipline and disciple our children in a way that honors God because He has lovingly entrusted us to shepherd them!Ephesians 6:1 Their sin is more obvious - this is a plus Be calm, clear, and CONSISTENT, do what you say you will do, and help them understand their personal responsibility in the choices they make with their will. Correction and not condemnation Galatians 6:9 Let's not become discouraged in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not become weary. We want to raise children that are not conformed to the things of this world but transformed for mighty kingdom work and they will NEED strong wills for these battles!

On this week's episode of the Thrive Like a Parent podcast, I dive into the challenges and rewards of raising strong-willed children, especially when it comes to their sensory and emotional regulation. Storing willed kiddos often struggle with societal expectations, like sitting still or staying organized, because they're trying to navigate their own unique needs.   I want to reassure you that while raising strong-willed children can be exhausting and sometimes overwhelming, it's so important to trust your parenting instincts. Understanding the root of their behavior—whether it's driven by sensory needs or emotional intensity—can make a big difference in guiding them effectively. I promise you can support your strong-willed child while still maintaining your own sanity.   I keep it real, the tough moments and the frustration that can come with them is 10000% there. But I also want to offer you hope and encouragement, reminding you that these traits often point to brilliance and resilience in your child. The key is finding the right balance between supporting their development and creating a harmonious household where everyone thrives.   #ParentingTips #StrongWilledChild #ThriveLikeAParent #ParentingChallenges #RaisingKids #ChildDevelopment #ParentingAdvice #MindfulParenting #SensoryAwareness #EmotionalRegulation #MomLife #ParentingPodcast

Hey Mama,  As the mom of strong willed children, I often stress about how my children's energy and enthusiasm will be perceived and handled at school. While I know good and well that my child is a sinner in need of Jesus' redeeming grace just as much as I am, it can be stressful to navigate the world of school. So Mama, if you worry about how your child will do at school, I have three scripture reminders to help you find peace in the God who blessed you with your strong willed children.

On this episode of The Fresh Start Family Show, Wendy chats with the funny and insightful Kirk Martin, founder of Celebrate Calm and host of the Calm Parenting podcast.  They explore 3 tools we can use to help de-escalate situations with our strong-willed kids when they're upset that are effective and actually create closeness when parenting a strong-willed kiddo: Self-Regulation: We must control our own emotions first before we address the child. The quickest way to change your child's behavior is to first control your own. Movement: Motion changes emotion. Sometimes talking makes kids more upset. Use movement to help calm an upset child. Connection: Relationships change behavior. Staying connected, especially during discipline creates trust & safety, which kids NEED in order to learn effective self-regulation.  Strong-willed kids are incredible, AND they can often be misunderstood. This episode gives us a fresh and empowered perspective on these kiddos and how to support their big feelings.

I love Kirk's realistic approach to parenting. He understands what your home dynamics are like. And gives practical tips. After listening to today's episode you will have at least three different “tricks” to apply. Most of all, I'm thankful for the new perspective he has given me. Kirk helped me recognize how emotionally invested I was in my boys' behavior and freed me from the need to regulate their behavior for them. The last couple days I've enjoyed the boys more. I'm also less tense and frustrated when we are out in public. In fact, I may need to go back and listen to this episode more than once, so it sticks! This episode originally aired in May of 2015 Kirk came back on the show multiple times. Check out additional episodes here. What we chat about: Kirk's realization that he needed to focus on his own behavior and stop trying to fix his son's strong-willed behavior. The switch he made from training 1500 kids in his home to training parents to calm themselves. The one thing you can do today to de-escalate a tense situation in your home. How to calmly handle your child's meltdown I can only control one person in life, and that's me. How motion changes emotion–helping little ones calm down b/c they don't know how to “think” their way out. What to do in the middle of Target aisle 3 when your child freaks out Handling a tantruming child when his siblings are fighting and another needs help with homework and dinner is cooking (Heather's daily 5 pm reality). If you don't care enough about yourself, to take care of yourself physically, emotionally, spiritually. . .why would anyone else care? How sometimes parents want good behavior so badly, they are too invested in it and give children too much control. How to be an impartial giver of wisdom. Write down your emotional triggers & do the opposite of what you normally do. Connect with Kirk: Site :: Twitter :: Facebook :: Podcast Links Mentioned: CDs/DVDs 888-506-1871–Toll Free Number for Frustrated Parents Summer of Mentorship Discussion Questions:  Discuss Kirk's realization that he needed to focus on his own behavior and stop trying to fix his son's strong-willed behavior. If you struggle to stay calm when your kids are out of control, what are some of your triggers?  Which of Kirk's ideas to de-escalate a situation is most realistic for you? Thinking about how motion changes emotion. How did you react to Kirk's idea of being an “impartial giver of wisdom” instead of being so invested in how your kids behave?  Spend some time working through a part of your day that is most challenging or a situation with a particular child and brainstorm ways you could respond differently. Share with others in the group and get their ideas if you are willing.  Featured Sponsors:  Thrive Market: Save time and money and shop Thrive Market today.
