6. Is My Nursing Toddler Strong-Willed? With Danielle Bettmann

Strong-willed children have a deeply rooted need to feel connected and in control. In the toddler breastfeeding relationship, this can create a recipe for burnout as you try to meet your child's demands for milk. Learning strategies that can help you stay connected while also keeping loving boundaries is key to finding a balance in the relationship. Danielle Bettmann is a Positive-Discipline certified parenting coach who empowers parents to crack the code of their strong-willed child's personality, meet their deepest core needs to improve their behavior, and find new levels of patience. An early childhood educator, certified teacher and home visitor, Danielle now equips parents from all over over Zoom! Instead of inadvertently inviting defiance by using traditional tools or playing "whack-a-mole" with short-sighted reactions, families get on the same page and learn how to cultivate cooperation while being KIND + FIRM at the same time! Host of the well-loved podcast, Failing Motherhood, she's passionate about eliminating shame from parents' vocabulary, reminding them they are the parent their kids need. She is also a mom to two daughters, wife of 14 years to her high-school sweetheart, and an avid fan of sunshine and coffee.
