"You Can’t Make Me!" 5 Scripts When Kids Choose Harsh Consequences Over Cooperation & Reflexively Say No #652
If your child's default reaction to simple requests is immediate pushback, even if that results in a harsh consequence—or if they're actively rejecting your family’s values around food, faith, and daily routines—I promise it’s not usually defiance. And if you don’t understand WHY they ask WHY, you’ll get stuck in endless negotiations and power struggles. In this episode, you’ll learn five scripts and simple action steps to move from constant conflict to cooperation. P.S. If you have one of these kids, you need our Black Friday Sale!

You’ll Hate Me For Saying This: You Must Ignore Your Child’s Initial Bluster! #650
"This is dumb." "You can't make me." "I'm not doing that!" When your strong-willed child spits out immediate pushback, your natural instinct is to correct their attitude and nip the disrespect in the bud.

I want to show you a counter-intuitive strategy that works much better—complete with real-world examples for kids of all ages. Casey gave me initial bluster for saying we’re starting the Black Friday Sale today—but he created the special web page for it below anyway. And yeah, feel free to call me dumb for this—I will ignore your bluster! P.S. Our Black Friday Sale begins today at https://celebratecalm.com/black-friday/.

Why You Do NOT Want Kids to Be Immediately Obedient: Raising Fearless Leaders, Not Fearful Robots. #636
Do you ever feel like you are doing something wrong because your strong-willed child doesn’t readily comply? Do you ever feel caught in the middle playing peacekeeper between a spouse or rigid family with unrealistic expectations or religious beliefs and a kid who is just being a kid? Do you sometimes struggle letting go of the “Because I Said So” mentality demanding immediate obedience from kids? I want to show you a better way—so you can trade fear-based discipline for trusting connection that motivates your kids to listen, without fear. P.S. We can share the Calm Parenting Bundle with family members so they can understand your child and support you—instead of judge you.

Why “Name It To Tame It” & Punching Pillows Don’t Work For Intense Kids #635
Deep breathing, punching pillows and “naming the emotion” sound great on paper—until you try them with an intense child. These traditional calming tools can actually backfire—leaving your child angrier and feeling incapable of managing their emotions. Learn why narrating your child’s emotions is one of the worst things you can do…and instead walk away with actionable, word-for-word scripts that diffuse big emotionsand give your child confidence in their ability to self-regulate. A must listen so please share. P.S. LET YOUR KIDS LISTEN to the Calm Parenting Bundle. We can recommend specific programs for them.
