A Special Message For Kids Who Feel Different (Dedicated to Poppy!)

I recorded this short message for kids who feel different, don't always feel like they fit in the kid world, and struggle in school even though they are smart. I challenge kids to stop fighting people and their parents. Instead, fight the obstacles that get in the way of you achieving your dreams. Instead, show your parents that you can control yourself, so they won't have to control you. Let your kids listen and let us know how we can help at CelebrateCalm.com.

Why Kids Choose Consequences Over Simply Doing What You Ask

You give a strong-willed child a simple instruction. If they would simply do what you asked, they’d be done in 7 minutes. But they would rather argue for 7 hours, days or weeks and lose everything they own. It’s infuriating and frustrating! Kirk shows you WHY your kids do this and HOW you can change this.

A Personal, Self-Serving, 5-Minute Podcast!

This is personal and self-serving so if you don’t want to listen to all 5:39 of it, here’s the gist. You don’t owe me anything and I don’t need you to support me. I do want you to know that in order for me to get paid by the brands who advertise on the podcast, you have to actually listen to the ads. They know if you skip them or not! You can play through the ads at 1.5 speed and that works. You just have to let the ad play through for it to count. So if you feel so inclined, listen to the ads. I do appreciate that. For those who are interested, I explain how the ads work in this short podcast.
