You're not alone and you shouldn't feel guilty if you've had this thought. Our kids often don't listen, "make bad choices," and do embarrassing things in public. I want to show you, through a very powerful and vivid story, how to turn common battles into opportunities to change behavior and build a closer relationship so your child doesn't internalize being the "bad kid." **Use the code: CALM75 for $75 OFF of the Calm Parenting Bundle.

I have told this story before, but today a new flood of emotions came out as I realized this story with my own son…mirrored my experience with my own Dad. Walk step-by-step with me through the ups and downs of discipline, self-doubt, guilt, and ultimately connection with an outwardly defiant strong-willed child. Please share this one. It's very powerful. **Use the code: CALM75 for $75 OFF of the Calm Parenting Bundle. This week only. Visit https://celebratecalm.com/products/ and download your roadmap to peace today.
