Fresh Start Family Show

Is your strong-willed child really “difficult”… or are they wired to lead? In this episode, Wendy and Terry continue walking through her upcoming book Fresh Start Your Family and unpack one of the most powerful paradigm shifts in parenting: seeing strong-willed kids as leaders in the making, not problems to fix. They talk about: Why culture praises “meek and mild” kids The difference between a true strong-willed child and a temporary power surge stage Why breaking a child’s will harms their spirit How to mentor strength with firm-and-kind leadership Through personal stories from raising their daughter Stella, Wendy and Terry show how the very traits that feel exhausting in toddlerhood often become courage, grit, and conviction in adulthood. If you’re parenting a child who pushes back, questions authority, or refuses to fold, this episode will help you reframe defiance as potential and raise your “cactus kid” with connection, confidence, and integrity. ➡️ Head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fre
