She covers her thoughts on when a parenting approach stops working when parents have multiple children with different personalities, the fork in the road at three, what she believes parents can control, traits that she believes are more set by nature, working with the strengths of your child, reframing the view of strong-willed kids, and the idea that you don’t know what others are going through behind closed doors. Lastly, Lisa addresses nine listener questions, exploring her perspective on nature versus nurture, how to approach a strong-willed 6-year-old, managing a 19-month-old who screams or an 11-month-old who gets angry quickly, handling an 8-year-old who gets upset when things don’t go their way, responding to tantrums, stubbornness, and attention-seeking behavior from a 4-year-old, dealing with a 15-month-old pushing other kids at daycare, and navigating the stage where a toddler is testing boundaries.
