Parenting is never easy, but it can be REALLY hard when you have a child who’s oppositional, defiant, or easily frustrated and easily angered. Attachment Parenting, Positive Parenting, Peaceful Parenting? These approaches may work for a lot of kids, but when you have a strong-willed kid with a high need for autonomy, most of today’s parenting strategies fail. Wits’ End Parenting is owned by Rebeca

h Freeling, a child-behavior expert specializing in kids with defiance and oppositional behavior, emotional volatility, aggression, and other problem behaviors. We’ve tried everything, and we don’t know what else to do.” Wits’ End’s clients reach out when they’re at their wits’ end, and with a background in education and more than 30 years with strong-willed, “spirited” kids, Rebecah helps parents transform kids’ problem behavior quickly and sustainably, so parents no longer need to continually re-invent their discipline strategies, and they no longer need to say, “We’ve tried that, but it didn’t work.”

Along with her coaching programs, Rebecah has developed The Agreement Game, a practical, step-by-step process for teaching cooperation and collaboration to strong-willed, "spirited" kids. She has also written a book, Your Rules Are Dumb: How to Maintain Your Parental Authority While Creating a Partnership With Your Spirited Child.

Faithfulness
Create for yourself a new, unwavering understanding of faithfulness. Let this be your faithfulness:
You will experience beautiful moments – fleeting moments – with your child. They will appear to you then as pure potential, filled with the light of their true self. You will stand in awe of their power and beauty.
Then there will be other moments, even long periods of time, when your child appears to be darkened; when you cannot see the light you previously saw shining. Learn to say to yourself at those times: Love gives me strength. I remember the light; I saw it once. No struggle, no illusion, nothing – not even despair – will rob me of it.
Always strive to hold onto that image you saw. This striving is faithfulness. This is what gives you the power and inspiration you need to help your child become the powerful, beautiful person they are.

(After Rudolf Steiner, “Faithfulness”. Rewritten in the vernacular for parents by Rebecah Freeling)
