Strong Willed Kids Course

Join Play Therapist Eleanor Mann and Breathworker Emma Johnston in the Strong Willed Kids Course.

12 months access

You've found your way here because none of the parenting strategies you have are working with your Strong Willed Child. And you've probably already tried everything.

Here's what we've come to understand after years of working with Strong Willed Kids and their exhausted, deeply loving parents:

Your child heard the boundary. Their nervous system didn't.

So much of what looks like defiance in Strong Willed Kids is actually a stress response…

Their body takes over before their brain can catch up. That's true at four. It's just as true at nine. At thirteen.

Once you understand that, everything shifts. Not just what you do. How you see them.

Because Strong Willed Kids aren't difficult. They're wired for leadership, independent, assertive, clear and direct. But when their needs go unmet, that same powerful temperament comes out as explosive, inflexible, relentless. And you end up worn down, wishing things were different, while also knowing, this spark in them is something worth protecting.

You don't need more strategies. You need to understand what's driving the behaviour,  the specific unmet need underneath it, so you can stop just managing the surface and start addressing the real cause.

That's exactly what the Strong Willed Kids course gives you.

The Strong Willed Kids Course has 60 lessons. Here's what's inside:

A comprehensive Nervous System Education section: The four stress responses, four child stress profiles (The Explosive Child, The Anxious Child, The Dreamy Child, The Golden Child), and how to help your child complete their stress cycle so they can actually come back to you.

The Four Needs of the Strong Willed Child™: Autonomy, Sensory, Relationship and Leadership. Once you know which need is driving the behaviour, you stop fighting it and start meeting it underneath.

A New Paradigm: Nervous System Based Parenting Practices: Because the most powerful thing you can offer your Strong Willed Child isn't a better script or a calmer voice. It's your regulated nervous system. This section includes a guided body awareness practice so you can start to feel the shift, not just understand it.

Practical Play Therapy activities in every module: Tools and strategies you can use immediately when things get tense, and activities to do regularly with your child to fill their cup ahead of time. All based on Eleanor's years of working with families in a therapeutic setting.

Guided audio lessons: Every core lesson is available in audio so you can learn on a walk, in the car, folding the washing. Warm, conversational, and exactly where so many parents have their biggest lightbulb moments.

Reflective Practices: Throughout every single module, we've woven in three layers of reflective practice designed to carry you through your own deep inner work.
