Author: Kirk Martin November 12, 2025 Duration: 22:56
Your kids ARE going to get mad at you. How should you respond when your toddler throws herself on the floor and screams, “I hate you!” or your son begins hitting because he’s jealous of the new baby? When your teen or tween isn’t happy about parental controls on their phone or claims you are too strict? What about kids who lash out because you ask them to do chores or go to a new class? Or a child who gets angry when on screens? Let’s use these situations to make your kids resilient. **Our Black Friday Sale continues this week!

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.
