Why Your Child’s Fierce Autonomy is Good & How to Get Husbands/Siblings To Understand #583

April 17, 2026·22 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

If you misunderstand your child’s motives and need for autonomy, it will provoke fierce defiance, pain, and pushback. I want to show you exactly how to help kids who don’t always want to be helped; help siblings who may not understand why you give your child accommodations; and help a spouse who is reluctant and thinks you’re just letting your child get away with things. Get personal mentoring with me through the PDA Parent Program at https://celebratecalm.com/pda/COZY EARTHHead to https://cozyearth.com  and use my code CALM for up to 20% off.CURE HYDRATIONCure is offering our listeners 20% off your first order!
