ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE:
What if the biggest gift you give your family this Christmas isn’t under the tree—but in how you parent?
Welcome to Daily Persuasion Ep. 97, Parenting Tip to Save Christmas ft. Pacing and Leading, Pattern Interrupt. In this short, sharp episode, Joshua Lisec—America’s most sought-after ghostwriter and persuasion expert—delivers a powerful holiday-season parenting strategy that might just change the way your entire family experiences Christmas.
This isn't your average batch of gentle parenting tips or tired lectures about “being patient.” Instead, Lisec shows you real persuasion techniques you can use in high-stress moments with your kids that actually work. Using two deceptively simple tools—pacing and leading and the pattern interrupt—you’ll discover how to bring order and agency into your parenting without yelling, bribing, or begging.
Christmas is a beautiful time—but it can also be chaotic. More family time means more chances for meltdowns, power struggles, and embarrassing moments in front of extended relatives. That’s why this episode offers practical, persuasive parenting advice just when you need it most. It’s packed with positive ways to say no to a child while still encouraging cooperation, independence, and even laughter.
You’ll hear Lisec break down a relatable scenario: his three-year-old resisting handwashing in a public restroom. Instead of forcing or pleading, he uses the pacing and leading method—first matching the child’s emotional state and language, then gently guiding them toward the desired behavior. That’s persuasion psychology at its finest.
Want to know how he got a stubborn toddler to wash his hands willingly—and even laughing? You’ll see exactly how a well-timed pattern interrupt (like putting soap on your nose!) can defuse the tension and transform a “no” into a giggling “yes.”
These aren’t just persuasion examples for parents—they’re lessons in leadership. They teach you how to model behavior, manage resistance, and motivate children without fear or force. And if you’re someone who struggles with the extremes—too permissive, or too authoritarian—this episode introduces a middle ground that works: persuasive parenting.
As Lisec puts it, “We want agency and order.” That’s what gentle parenting tips often miss—and what strict parenting gets wrong. Both sides aim to raise capable, confident kids, but often fall short. In this episode, you’ll learn how to meet your kids where they are emotionally (pacing), then guide them where they need to go (leading). You’ll also learn how to disrupt negative patterns with lighthearted, effective humor and imagination.
Throughout Episode 97, Joshua Lisec sprinkles in persuasion techniques you can apply not only with your children but also with your spouse, your in-laws, and even your coworkers. This is a masterclass in influence, disguised as parenting tips for the holidays.
Whether you're navigating Christmas parenting chaos or looking for everyday tools to de-escalate power struggles, this episode gives you what you need. You’ll walk away with clear strategies for how to persuade someone to do something—even a stubborn child in meltdown mode. And that’s the power of persuasion.
So if you’re tired of holiday battles, overwhelmed by the problems with gentle parenting, or ready to try something more effective than “because I said so,” this episode is your answer. Watch, take notes, and apply these persuasion principles right away.
