Why Phlegmatic Parents Struggle With Strong-Willed Kids (And What to Do)

What happens when a naturally peaceful parent is raising a naturally intense child?

In this episode, Matt and Erin unpack the real challenges phlegmatic parents face when raising choleric children. You’ll discover why your child’s pushback isn’t personal, how to set healthy processes instead of rigid boundaries, and what mindset shifts help transform power struggles into moments of growth.

You’ll discover:

• Why phlegmatic parents often misread conflict as failure
• How to reframe your child’s “fighting” as conviction
• The #1 mindset shift that restores your peace
• A simple process to create calm, consistent structure
• How to redirect your child’s strong will toward virtue

Learn how to leverage your phlegmatic superpowers, empathy, consistency, calm, and bring out the best in your child’s God-given leadership drive.
