A young child screamed and cried because she wanted to go down the slide. IYKYK. But she couldn't get to the top of the slide on her own. Her struggle was evident, but her determination was persistent. When she discovered she could climb UP the slide, the joy on her face was infectious. That joy wouldn't have been there without the pain, and that determination might not have been there if she wasn't a strong willed kid. If you're struggling with the urge to control your strong willed kid, join me LIVE on June 20th for my Parenting Strong Willed Kids workshop. ✨Link in Bio! #helpingchildren #parentingmoments #lmftsoftiktok #conciousparenting #strongwilledchild
