Living Peacefully with your Strong-Willed Child Understand your kid and stop the daily struggle. Get both of you out of survival mode. Learn to create an alliance with your child so you can get through your daily life without killing each other. Make it easier for your child to listen, be nice, pay attention, and follow rules when they have to...without crushing their spirt, or yours. Your kid is misbehaving and you're afraid: They won’t succeed in school They aren't going to have any friends They aren't going to get a decent job They won't have a future They're going to be in trouble, get arrested, or worse. You want the best for your kid, you just don't know how to make it happen, and everything that you've tried has failed. You're burnt out. You've been trying to solve this on your own for too long. You keep asking, "Why won't you just listen to me?" Your kid can't tell you. But I can. Let me help you make sense of what you're seeing. Let me help you find new strategies. In this 120 minute participatory workshop I’ll help you understand why your kid thinks and acts they way they do, why your strategies still aren’t working no matter how good your intentions, and how you can modify them to make immediate changes in your relationship. We'll have fun, we'll laugh, we'll tell stories, but most important will be the connections and the shift in perspective. Join me and host Lisa Kan for an engaging, truthful, useful, change of perspective with other parents who have the same issues and the same questions. Leela is the author of the forthcoming book, You're Not Too Much, a love letter and user's guide to intensives of all ages.
