Is Your Strong-Willed Child Struggling with Aggressive Behavior?
Is your child acting out, biting, or hitting their sibling despite your best efforts? What if the problem isn\u2019t defiance but disconnection? Today I talk about a family I worked with recently who struggled to raise a strong-willed child. They had tried everything: timeouts, punishments, and rewards, but nothing worked to stop the aggression.
As I dive into this family's journey, I explain why punitive measures often backfire and how shifting focus toward connection can create the change we\u2019re all looking for. I share with you how I guided this family to stop using threats and start using special time and empathy. You'll hear the small but powerful steps that led to a transformation, both for the child and the family dynamic.

- Punishments worsen aggression, not solve it
- Connection as the foundation of behavior change
- The power of empathy and special time
