Episode 45: Parenting a Strong-Willed Child with Danielle Bettmann

Today on the Peaceful Worldschooling Podcast, I have the privilege and honor of introducing you to DANIELLE BETTMANN.

Danielle is has her bachelor's in Child Development + Education from Birth-Grade 3 with teaching certification. She taught Head Start, Early Head Start and was a home visitor for Save the Children for a program called Early Steps to School Success. She was also an in-home childcare provider alongside a colleague for a little while before leading a large mom's group.

She's certified as a Positive Discipline parent educator and has been working directly with parents locally and virtually now for 4 years with her own company. Her daughters are 10 and 9-years-old, and her 2nd daughter is as strong-willed as they come!

Danielle is the owner & parenting coach of Wholeheartedly. She helps families with a strong-willed tiny human find more sanity + solutions and get on the same page! Through group or 1:1 coaching, she helps extend your patience, master Positive Discipline tools and write your Family Business Plan. She's also the host of the Failing Motherhood podcast, working to normalize the struggle and share vulnerable stories of feeling like a "failure", reminding you that YOU are the mom your kids need.
