Parenting a strong-willed child comes with many blessings and challenges. When you are that childâs teacher too, then you kick it up a notch (or two)!
As a mom to a strong-willed child (and as a strong-willed child all grown up), Carrie has âbeen there, done thatâ on many occasions and for many years. In this weekâs episode, Carrie shares lessons she learned from her mom as her mom tried to discipline and disciple her as well as five strategies that helped Carrie homeschool her strong-willed kiddo. It is advice you can apply this week and tips you can use this school year as you educate (and love on) your children (whether they are strong-willed or not).
So pour yourself an extra shot of espresso, put your feet up, and join Carrie for this little coffee break.
