More Than Homeschooling
#18 The "Strong Willed Child"
In this episode, Katy tackles the common and often frustrating question: "What do I do when my child refuses to do homeschool because they're so stubborn and strong-willed?"
Katy dives into:
- The Motivational Triad: How the brain's natural tendency to seek pleasure, avoid pain, and conserve energy affects both you and your child’s behavior.
- Emotional vs. Thinking Brain: How shifting from emotional reactions to logical thinking can transform the way you handle resistance in homeschooling.
- Understanding Strong-Willed Behavior: How using "The Model" tool can help you better manage difficult moments and improve your approach to strong-willed children.
- Opportunities for Growth: How losing your cool can become an opportunity to teach your child about repentance, forgiveness, and striving to be better.
