  • In this episode of the Peaceful Parenting Podcast, we tackle a common issue among parents - having a child who argues about everything.

    The episode provides insights into why this might happen and how parents can handle it effectively. A child continually arguing could be an indication of intelligence and lack of fear, considered good signs. However, we highlight the importance of evaluating your limits and strategies as a parent, discussing scenarios such as being too strict and controlling or being excessively permissive.

    Overall, parents are encouraged to value a child's perseverance and possibly channel it into activities where it would be considered an advantage, like joining a debate team.


    We talk about:

    2:36 Evaluating our limits & Good Will bank

    04:55 Being ‘too’ permissive

    08:00 Too giving too many explanations

    11:43 Empathy for our child and looking at our reaction

    13:54 Kids feeling disconnected

    15:28 Using superpowers for good
