Kirk shows you how to cultivate your child’s confidence and guiding internal dialogue.

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

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

    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.

Changed our house

This podcast has changed the way our house operates. I was too soft before. Not enough boundaries and eventually I’d flip to the other extreme and lose my temper. It wasn’t working for anyone. Kirk has taught me how to lovingly put my foot down when needed. Every episode leaves me with an aha that I use in real life. Thank you, Kirk, for all the help.

Really sensible advice!

Love this podcast. Very practical and straight-forward. I don’t understand why the reviewer on Feb 10,2024 thinks he “picks on” homeschoolers. That listener must not realize Kirk speaks at homeschool conventions and has been a guest on homeschool podcasts, and was a homeschooler himself. Previous episodes from early 23/24 school year were even specifically about this and completely resonated with me as a homeschooling mom myself.

Happy Birthday

I will listen to the ads! Your podcast is so worth it!
