  • How to escape the discipline vortex. 
  • How important  connection between big people and children is and what that looks like
  • Why and how stop using the disconnect as a disciplinary technique
  • How toddlers can only hold 1 significant idea in their mind at a  time and what this means
  • Discipline is not something you do, as it something you be (See it, feel it, be it ) 
  • Intuitive boundaries …How to set one and how to know when to let a boundary go ? 
  • Dropping a flag and why this might just be the best tool you can use  
  • How to actually creating TRULY independent children
