  • 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. They aren't grateful for time with friends--they lash out when you pick them up. And when you call them for dinner, all you hear is, "Just a couple more minutes" and they ignore you. 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.

  • Why Kids Say 'No' Instantly (You Won’t Like My Response!) #443
    So you ask your child to do something, even something simple. Put your shoes on, Take the trash out. Brush your teeth. Put your dishes in the sink. It’s not hard to do. If they just did what you asked them to do, they’d be done in like 20 seconds! Instead, they react with a sigh, a groan, muttering something like “that’s dumb,” or “I don’t want to.” I want to show you a different way to respond so your kids actually do what you say…without the big fight!
