Face to Face With An Angry, Frustrated, Anxious Child #527

Author: Kirk Martin October 15, 2025 Duration: 23:31
You are going to come face to face with a child who feels angry, frustrated, anxious…and ultimately helpless. I used to feel helpless as a parent and react just like my son. Until I finally learned how to connect and diffuse these situations...and respond the way I wish my Dad had treated me. I show you exactly how with a script and action steps in this very powerful episode.

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.
