What Makes a Strong-Willed Child?
Do you ever wonder if you are crazy or if your child really does have the traits of a strong-willed child? Check out this blog post to find out if you are right or looney tunes;)
Hi There!
I'm Shana. BoyMom. Surfmom. Former Teacher. Wife. Child Juggler.
As a former teacher, I always thought that meant motherhood would be easier. I've had so much practice with other people’s children, but truthfully motherhood is far more difficult for so many reasons. You are your child's safe place- which means they show ALL the emotions with you. Fun, right? Well, I have discovered that raising two strong-willed boys has tested every nerve, bone and emotion in my body. It is HARD & Exhausting. There are so many extra things to worry about and plan for beyond the typical child.
So why did I create this community, website, blog, and resources? I decided that if I could share what I learned about parenting my own high spirited children and help some other frustrated moms feel less alone... I would feel better and less alone.
So what did I do (and continue to do)) to learn how to support my boys? I turned to research, evidence based teachings that were created with child development in mind. I read furiously and followed numerous accounts that shared information to support my concerns. This helped a lot, but it didn’t meet all of my needs as a parent. I decided to create something that met all of my needs AND helped other moms like me. So here we are… talking about that very thing- A Community for Moms of Strong-Willed Kiddos. Welcome. I hope you feel seen, heard and supported here.
Big Hugs...
