How to avoid arguments and power struggles with your child. “My child is forever saying NO! to my every request. Help! How do I get my child to say yes, especially when she argues about everything? It’s wearing me down.” It’s a common question I hear from many parents the world over. You know the drill, it’s bath time. Your child knows it’s bath time. And yet the first thing out of her mouth is a NO! You want the T.V off for dinner, you want to sit at the table and have family time and your child says NO! You’re trying to get out the house on time, shoes on and bags packed, and your child says NO!

Do you have an explosive child? Are tantrums taking over family life? We all know how utterly exhausting it is dealing with tantrums, but did you know that the way we respond to our child’s tantrums not only puts a stop to the behaviour we don’t like, it’s also key to our child’s future mental well-being and how they manage their behaviour and emotions for life?

I’m thankful every single day I found Language of Listening® the coaching model changed my life and my daughter’s, and the many many families I support.

I want to show you how to get the kids to listen without shouting, threats or bribes and what to do when your child doesn't listen. One of the biggest challenges in parenting is getting our kids to listen willingly. We can begin to overcome this challenge by understanding things from our child’s point of view. But first, it helps to consider how our usual responses often make the situation worse.
