Calm Parenting Podcast

You have an intense, strong-willed child who is frustrating because they are either the complete opposite of you…or just like you, which means they mirror things you want to change about yourself. Do you get triggered when your child says, “Whatever”? Do you take your child’s unhappiness as ingratitude or a reflection of your parenting? You’re not alone! I want to give 10 strategies to stop the power struggles and drama so you can bond with this child. **Stop the yelling, power struggles, and daily chaos—get 50% off the Calm Parenting Bundle this Spring. https://celebratecalm.com/products/ COZY EARTH Head to https://cozyearth.com  and use my code CALM for up to 20% off.

Learning impulse control and delayed gratification is more important than almost everything else we teach our kids in school. If I were raising a child today, I would slow my life down, spend way less time on academics and chores, and spend much more time teaching my kids impulse control and delayed gratification.

I want to give you 22 practical ways to do this. **We are extending our Black Friday Sale for one more week.

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. Our Black Friday in March Sale Ends This Weekend!
