Do you have a child who would rather argue for 2 hours over homework rather than complete it in 30 minutes?! Those of us with ADHD or neurodivergent brains learn in different ways, but schools usually only teach one way…leaving us feeling inferior and frustrated. That leads to unnecessary stress and fights over homework. I want to share odd, but effective ways to improve focus and executive function using the brain’s natural super powers.

If your household feels more like a courtroom with a strong-willed child who debates every request, take a breath. The Calm Parenting Podcast is a conversation for exactly that reality, hosted by Kirk Martin of Celebrate Calm. This isn't about theoretical ideals; it's built on direct experience from years of working with over 1,500 challenging kids, including those with AD/HD, OCD, ODD, and ASD, right in his own home. Kirk translates that hands-on work into concrete steps you can use immediately, strategies that have already shifted dynamics for more than a million parents and teachers worldwide. Each episode moves beyond the frustration of daily power struggles, yelling, and defiance to offer a different path forward. You'll hear practical, life-changing approaches that focus on connection over control, understanding what's really driving the behavior rather than just reacting to it. This podcast provides a sense of solidarity and actionable advice for transforming tense standoffs into cooperative relationships, making your home a calmer place for everyone. Tune in for grounded perspectives that help you respond with intention, not just emotion.
