Counterwill: Focusing on Connection Rather than Obedience

All parents have experienced the frustration of trying to get a kid to comply with what we need or want them to do when they don't want to do that.  "Counterwill" is an instinctive, automatic resistance to any sense of being forced to do something against our will. It’s triggered anytime a child or adult feels pressured to do something against their will.  In this episode we talk about how to refocus ourselves on what is truly important when we get into a power struggle with our kids.  It's all about connection!
