Katherine wants her 9 year old to be able to stand up for herself and eventually save the world with her strength of spirit. But in the meantime, she unintentionally undermines that strength by not accepting it right now. Zelda perceives her parents as the enemy because she believes she must fight them to be heard. Her difficult “integrity” temperament worries her parents who get angry when they think she ignores them or says they’re mean. They try to explain, but the fight comes, not when Zelda can’t do what she wants, but when she feels wrong for the wanting.  Bonnie Harris, MS.Ed., director of Connective Parenting, 30+ years of coaching, teaching, and writing for parents.  https://linktr.ee/bonnieharrisparenting Website: bonnieharris.com  Email: [email protected] Produced, mixed, and scored by Echo Finch  www.echofinch.com Use this link to purchase Bonnie's audiobook on Audible When Your Kids Push Your Buttons and What You Can Do About It 🚨 New offer for Tell Me About Your Kids listeners!! 🚨  Join Thrive Market and Get My Special Discount   https://www.tkqlhce.com/click-100687948-15329496 Earth Mama Organics https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=177850&u=3330166&m=22557&urllink=&afftrack=
