No wonder you second guess yourself—you are doing the hardest job on the planet while being observed and judged by the people you thought would support you in this…and sometimes you even get undermined from within your home. You constantly feel the need to take the temperature of the home and then get accused of coddling your child when you are just protecting your child. You are courageously dealing with childhood trauma and breaking generational patterns. I am so freaking proud of you! I hope this podcast makes you feel heard, understood, and inspired to keep being an awesome Mom.

I want your kids to have the tools to clean up their own messes in life—with siblings, with a future spouse, with classmates, within themselves.

Kirk shares five different ways to get your kids to be responsible for themselves.

Many of our kids begin to internalize, “I’m a bad kid, I’m slow so I’m not smart, there’s something wrong with me. I’m always in trouble, no one is ever happy with me.” That internal dialogue will sabotage your child’s success and relationships for a lifetime (many of us still struggle with limiting beliefs). The good news is we can change that NOW. Kirk gives you specific scripts to cultivate your child’s confidence and help teachers get on board.

I don’t know what it’s like to be a Mom. So I wanted to share the powerful reflections of a real life Mom—not an expert Mom or someone who has it all together—for three reasons. Because her voice, like yours, deserves to be heard and respected and honored. I think this will encourage A LOT of Moms so you feel seen. And you may want to ask/request that your husband listen to this as an early Mother’s Day gift so he really understands you.

5 Things I Feared About My Son & His Future #470

Our son had extremely intense meltdowns, got in trouble routinely at school, didn't study or try his hardest, had a messy bedroom, and left lights on everywhere. Diagnosed with an alphabet soup of labels, he didn't listen, did argue, and underperformed in school. How did we address these issues and did we really have reasons to fear for his future? This is both very practical and encouraging!

Adoption #2: Kids Who Never Seem Full or Happy, Unhealthy Attachments, Separation & Sleep Issues #463

In this special episode, Kirk addresses these specific issues from parents of adopted kids:  Our son will attach himself to anyone who gives him positive or negative attention. Our daughter always wants to be attached to only me and won’t separate. Our child has a "love bucket" with a giant hole in the bottom. Our kids never seem full, even with so much constant attention and love. It seems like she is unhappy and can't see the "good" in the day if ONE thing doesn't go her way. Ours was exposed to drugs, will not sleep, and becomes destructive.

Do Adopted Kids Struggle More? Part #1 #460

Parents often believe if you adopt a child from birth and provide a loving home, that will mitigate most issues. It doesn’t usually work that way. There is no judgment here. Just the reality that trauma triggers different issues. That can manifest in kids with an insatiable craving for intensity, sensory pressure, connection, food, and things. Adoptive parents should not feel guilty or alone when their kids struggle. Please share this with support groups and other adoptive parents who need both encouragement and practical tools to help the kids they love so much.

Kids Ignore, Resist, or Fight You? Get Them Moving More Quickly. #457

Why can't your kids just come when you ask them? Does it always have to be a fight? It's like they can't hear you when playing video games.

It's frustrating! Kirk shows you a powerful strategy that melts resistance, gets kids moving, and creates bonding moments...instead of power struggles. Take advantage of the Black Friday Sale in March at https://celebratecalm.com/black-friday/

FAFO Parenting Will NOT Work With Strong-Willed Children #452

"F* Around & Find Out" is the classic idea that you allow your child to learn from the natural consequences of their actions. It makes sense in theory. But it will NOT work with our kids. This approach can backfire badly and cause more damage than you think. It is critical to understand your child's very nature so you don't create more power struggles.
