Raising a strong-willed child - how to be a loving parent while still setting boundaries Rad Mom Radio

Welcome to Rad Mom Radio! This week Natalie is joined by Lesley Holloway. Lesley is a wife, a mom of two boys, and a managing partner at a law firm.

In this episode we learn about Lesley's background in acting before she switched careers and became an attorney that specializes in litigation. She discusses how her introverted nature is more suited to a career in law and how she balances being a mom and a career woman.

Lesley describes what it's like to raise a strong-willed child and how this dynamic raises challenges in her home. Lesley in particular wants other moms to know that they are not alone in raising their strong-willed kids. She states that it is important to be real about our failures and short-comings as mothers as there is often pressure to be perfect. Listen in to hear about Lesley's parenting strategies and what she believes are the most important things a parent can do for their child.

Lesley established a scholarship for young people who come from single parent homes who are also seeking higher education. She started this scholarship in honor of her father Curtis Holloway who raised her as a single dad from the age of 10 after her mom passed away. If you would like to contribute to the scholarship fund you can find it under this link: Curtis Holloway Memorial Scholarship | Bold.org
