Today, we’re chatting all about strong-willed kids and wiggle worms! This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure statement for more information.
In this week’s episode, the sisters are answering two listener questions – about strong-willed kids and kiddos who need to move.
Cait and Kara have experience with both (um, wink), so they share what has worked in their own homes, book suggestions and ways to keep your kids learning, even if they need tons of movement.
If you feel like you’re clashing with a strong-willed child, or you have one that hops up so often that chasing them counts as cardio, this episode is for you!
This episode is sponsored by Big Life Journal, KiwiCo, and Warby Parker.
