In this episode, we dive into the challenges of parenting kids who push back, question everything, and seem to have a natural talent for arguing. Whether it’s defiance, strong opinions, or just a knack for debate, we know firsthand how exhausting it can be. But what if we shift our perspective and see this as a season to navigate rather than a battle to win?
