Podcast: Parenting Without Power Struggles with Susan Stiffelman

Submitted by Rita Brhel on 15 October 2025

It seems too good to be true, but there are ways to reduce power struggles with our children without sacrificing respect, limits or your child's confidence.

Listen in on one of our classic podcasts -- a timeless and encouraging conversation with educational therapist and licensed family counselor Susan Stiffelman giving lessons learned on:

  • Transforming your child's frustration and aggression into adaptation and cooperation
  • Keeping your cool when your kids push your buttons, talk back or refuse to “play nice”
  • Nourishing deep attachment with young and older kids
  • Helping your ADHD-ish child survive and thrive, even if you’re ADHD-ish yourself
  • Inoculating your kids from negative thinking and peer pressure that lead to anger, anxiety, depression, or behavior issues
  • Helping children manage the emotional challenges of divorce
