As parents, we want to be able to influence our children. And we can feel helpless and out of control when we try to help our kids feel or act better… and we can’t make it happen.

One of the most common ways that we “leak” influence happens on a day-to-day basis in the way we ask our kids to do things and in the way we respond to their requests.

Once you become aware of this leak, you can make a simple change and increase your influence immediately!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why some of our our requests and our responses immediately put our kids into fight-or-flight (and make them more resistant to us)

• An example that illustrates what this is like for your child that you will be able to relate to

• Simple strategies to increase your influence and improve your relationship with your child

As parents, we want to be able to motivate our kids to act more responsible and handle situations more effectively. And we can feel helpless and out of control when we aren’t able to make that happen.

Unfortunately, we will feel helpless and out of control because we often (unknowingly) “leak” influence by the way we think about and respond to situations. One of the most common influence leaks happens when we set unrealistic expectations and aren't even aware that we're doing that.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How setting realistic expectations increases our influence with our children

• A simple question that will help you set expectations and handle previously-difficult situations more effectively

• The benefits (for us and our kids!) when we plug influence leaks

We want to be able to influence our kids. We want them to listen to us, and we want to be able to calm them down so they can work through situations with less drama. So it can be challenging when our attempts to influence them don't work… or even make things worse! In this second episode of a two-part series, we’ll discuss what's needed to become a powerful positive influence with your children so you can bring more peace to your home, even if that seems impossible now.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The type of influence we usually have with our children – and why it doesn’t motivate better behavior, moods, and attitudes

• The two qualities that you need if you want your children to listen more readily and calm down more easily

• What it looks like when you do improve your influence (even if your children don’t realize it’s happened)
