    143: When Your Child Argues With You About Everything

    143: When Your Child Argues With You About Everything

    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

mawwwwwwwee ,

I love this podcast!

Thank you for this podcast. Parents don’t need to yell or be authoritative with kids. We need to care and develop loving relationships. Love love love.

Ahop2 ,

Sarah is great

I actually don’t follow her advice 100% but use it with other parenting methods (parenting can be very personal). I take what I find useful which is a lot. She is very helpful and gives great advice.

Game changing podcast!

Sarah’s podcasts are a parenting game changer! Highly recommend this podcast to all parents looking to deepen an understanding of and connection to their kids. The recorded coaching call episodes are so helpful—especially hearing other people have similar struggles. Sarah is a fantastic coach and podcast host.
