All of the parenting books, the intentional planning, and the \u201cI\u2019m going to be a great parent\u201d attitude meant nothing the minute Ellen had her firstborn, Erin. None of the discipline strategies worked the way they promised.\xa0So Ellen began the adventure of finding ways to understand the different hearts of her children. Only then, was she able to understand their needs so she could be the parent she really wanted to be. \xa0 \xa0 Ellen\xa0Schuknecht (Erin\u2019s mom!) joins us on So Here\u2019s the Thing this week with amazing advice for every parent out there. Whether your child is compliant or strong-willed, you will want to have a pen and paper with you when listening! We cover topics such as:

• Getting to the root\xa0of disobedience
• Strategies to focus on the heart for a more positive\xa0long-term impact
• Letting go of the fear of parenting failure
• Why traditional parenting advice may not be working for you kids

We want to give away two copies of Ellen and Erin\u2019s new book, Free to Parent (more info on the book below) to our listeners. Leave us a comment and tell us what was most freeing in what you heard on the podcast today.
