Bossy Kids… why they do it & how to deal with it (Ep #1)

Find the podcast on iTunes, Spotify, Google, and wherever else you get your podcasts!

Got a super bossy child? Maybe your little one bosses around their siblings or others at school or socially? In this episode we’ll talk about the WHY (you’ll probably be surprised) this happens.

And I go into how to respond in a way that helps your child feel validated and less likely to be bossy in the future. 

My new book is releasing soon!!!!!
