How to Parent a Strong Willed Child
About this episode
Dr. Shefali and Mary Van Geffen discuss parenting strong willed children and share strategies for nurturing their unique traits.
On today’s episode, Dr. Shefali sits down with international parenting coach Mary Van Geffen, who specializes in helping mothers raise strong willed, or as she calls them, “spicy” children. As the mother of a spirited child herself, Mary understands just how humbling and triggering parenting can be. Dr. Shefali also shares her own experience raising a strong willed child and the lessons she has learned along the way. Together, they discuss why these children often experience bigger emotions, challenge routines and expectations, and require a different approach to parenting. Mary explains how parents can stay calm, kind, and firm while raising confident, resilient children. This conversation will help parents see that a strong willed child is not a problem to fix, but a gift to understand and nurture.
