#161 In this episode, Lisa discusses her approach to raising children with grit. She covers parents trying to make everything easy for their children, how she approached teaching delayed gratification, the importance of learning to fail, praising children, and setting fair boundaries even in toddlerhood.

Lastly, Lisa addresses seven listener questions, discussing what to do when a 16-month-old gets loud when they don’t get what they want, the best way to handle yelling and screaming from a 5-year-old, how to respond to a 19-month-old throwing things, and the specific balance of meeting needs and managing wants when a child is sick. She then explores the challenge of remaining a calm leader when co-parenting, what to do when a 6-year-old has to be told to clean up, and how to go about raising a child to not be clingy.
