Calm Parenting Podcast

How do you motivate kids to do tasks without reminding them 18 times...or do uncomfortable things without arguing every single day? What should you do when a child defies you, disregards your instructions, doesn't do school work or go to sports practice? Should you force your teenager to go on family vacation? Kirk gives you creative answers to all these questions that you may not have thought of..or even agree with. Try them anyway! ** Tomorrow CAN be different from today, without the guilt and tears. This is the final week of our Mother's Day Sale. Download your roadmap to peace today at https://celebratecalm.com/mothers-day/

When "No" turns into a nuclear meltdown and "I’m sorry" turns into "I’m a bad kid," you aren't dealing with a tantrum—you’re dealing with a child who feels helpless, has internalized shame, and then goes scorched earth. If you're tired of threatening consequences that don't work and using a "calm" voice that makes them angrier, this is a must listen. You’ll get the exact 5-step de-escalation roadmap and a creative script that help you and your child feel in control again. Please share this one. ** Tomorrow CAN be different from today, without the guilt and tears.

You are constantly taking the emotional temperature of the home, forced to be the referee between siblings, between your spouse and strong-willed child. You get accused of coddling your child when you're really coddling the judgmental grown-ups judging you. You are courageously breaking generational patterns. I am so incredibly proud of you! I hope this episode helps you relax into this fact: you don't have to do anything else to be a great Mom. ** Tomorrow CAN be different from today, without the guilt and tears.
