Calm Parenting Podcast

We are kicking off our Black Friday Sale with a game-changing idea you can practice tonight! Your child messes up—again. When an upset parent or teacher calls to report the latest incident, your child lies right to your face. You would feel justified lecturing and grounding your child—but what if that reaction is secretly training them to become a better liar? I want to show you a very simple, powerful discipline reset that rewires your kids’ brains so they take responsibility for their actions…without the shame.  

P.S. Change your family ASAP with our Black Friday Sale at https://celebratecalm.com/black-friday/. Let your kids and grandparents listen. Email [email protected] with questions or financial assistance.

"This is dumb." "You can't make me." "I'm not doing that!" When your strong-willed child spits out immediate pushback, your natural instinct is to correct their attitude and nip the disrespect in the bud. But reacting to that first emotional reaction is the reason families get stuck in endless power struggles. I want to show you a counter-intuitive strategy that works much better—complete with real-world examples for kids of all ages. Casey gave me initial bluster for saying we’re starting the Black Friday Sale today—but he created the special web page for it below anyway. And yeah, feel free to call me dumb for this—I will ignore your bluster!

It’s so hard raising a strong-willed child! Traditional parenting truths like being consistent don’t work with this child. You’re clear with expectations, your child pushes back, and you’re left wondering, “Do I double down right now, or do I let this go?” Then you’ll second guess yourself or be judged. I want to show you how to confidently choose when to be wise, not just “right” in everyday power struggles.

Getting your child the support they need at school shouldn’t feel like a fight. But for millions of families, it does. In Zero Reject, an investigative podcast from Understood.org, award-winning journalist Anya Kamenetz looks at how changing federal policies are reshaping special education — and what’s at stake for families trying to access the support their children are legally entitled to. I encourage you to listen to this special episode to learn how to advocate more effectively for your child.

“If you would simply do what I ask you to do, you would be done in 7 minutes. But you would rather argue with me for 7 hours or days or weeks or years and lose everything you own!” That was our son! I tried to change him until I realized I was the one who needed to change. Tune in to this very personal episode to learn how to break the cycle of endless arguments, drop the power struggles, and finally build the deep bond you desire with your own strong-willed child.

I have watched countless families ripped apart, spending 18 years fighting with their kids over something that doesn’t matter. It destroys both your child’s confidence and your relationship…so neither you nor your child enjoy their childhood. With zero upside. It’s an exhausting cycle you will regret and I don’t want you to waste another day trapped in it. Please share this important episode with other parents.
