  • Do You Need To Grieve The Child (& Childhood) You Didn’t Get? #528
    Oct 19 2025

    “If you would simply do what I ask you to do, you would be done in 7 minutes. But you would rather argue with me for 7 hours or days or weeks or years and lose everything you own!” That was our son! I tried to change him until I realized I was the one who needed to change. He reflected back to me my own immaturity, but also my own childhood. And that can lead to amazing healing and a deep bond with your strong-willed child. This is the final week of our big Fall Sale.
