Yesterday, I posted a tip for dealing with Power Struggles and this morning, I found another resource for advice that I think is fantastic!
The thing that I love about the parenting article by Karan Sims is: she talks about empowering instead of overpowering the child. That is a much better position for raising healthy adults as we are teaching them early on to be confident in making choices and modeling how to be centered regardless of what others may think. In addition to that, there cannot be a power struggle unless two people are involved in a push-me pull-me. In other words, it takes two to tango! Thanks Karan for your great article and the tips you suggest! Out of the variety offered, I am sure one or more can work beautifully to enhance the relationship between the adult and the child! Any readers have success stories that you can share on this topic? I would love to hear it and I am sure others would get great value from your examples!

"Empowering instead of overpowering the child" I just love that phrase on your blog. I have two grandchildren who stay with me on weekends and I try to empower them and not just tell theme what to do. Great information and article.
I totally agree with that method...that empowering/encouraging a child is the best method instead of overpowering the child. I use to remember when I was a child sometimes I would purposely disobey my parents nomatter how great the punishment may be. Now I firmly believe that if you encourage a child to be the best that he can be, he will grow up to be such a remarkable person but if you will try to control a child, they will tend to be rebellious. These article of yours will really be useful to parents and that's why I'll say thank you for sharing.
Yes, developing their own opinion is very importand for children. Especially in times like today, where the opinion of others seems to be the only "value". Sad, but true.
Hello, I have a young 5 year old son that is experimenting with us daily on his "will full" behavior. Your links to your ather articles are a good read. Thank you. Datsundude
This hit the psychology of children right on the head of the nail. I will show these to some expectant parents I know for sure.
