I found this podcast at a time I thought all was lost with my son. I was truly at the bottom. The screaming, defiance, the hurt and struggles were overwhelming. Kirk’s podcast changed our life. I purchased his kits and did the ADHD university and it changed my view of my son and helped me understand life through his eyes. It’s not perfect, but life is absolutely different than it was before! I can’t thank Kirk enough for using his experience to touch the lives of so many others! God bless you Kirk and all the goodness and hope you are putting out into the world!
Love this guy!

If I ever get to meet you in person, Kirk, I’d give you a big ol’ Texas HUG! :) Your advice is always so helpful and your encouragement always so appreciated. Thank you!
Amazing!

Somehow every episode seems to be exactly what I needed to hear. It’s been so helpful for me learning to interact better/differently with my kids! Love the honesty and many realistic ideas that I can put into action right away!
It’s working!

Like Kirk I almost ruined my relationship with my oldest strong willed son, so with my youngest son I knew I wanted to do things differently. I’ve implemented several of his strategies and it’s been a game changer for us. Thanks so much!
The parenting coach I needed
Jan 30
ADHD mom here with strong willed boys. First I really appreciate’s Kirk’s advice and practical tips, some of which I knew from other ADHD parenting resources and some of which are new to me. Second, what I might appreciate even more than the advice is the positive coaching. Parenting is hard, and to be able to play an episode or two each week where someone who gets it “whispers” words of encouragement in your ears is invaluable.
Pure Gold!

I’ve never benefited from a podcast more. I’m really excited about buying the programs. This man speaks directly to my situation and struggles.
The Best Tool
Jan 10
I love this podcast. I love the practical ideas, the reframing of perspective and the passion Kirk brings to the topic of parenting. I am a better parent because of the things I have learned here and I recommend it all the time.
not at all what I expected
Jan 21
To be fair, I only listened to one episode, but I found some of the perspectives shared troubling. In the opening minutes of one episode, the host dismissed the value of preschool 'circle time,' calling it 'stupid.' As a preschool educator with a decade of experience, I can attest to the immense importance of circle time in fostering communication, social skills, and emotional development. The host also mentioned that he has never needed to sit in a circle to listen or share ideas 'after the age of five or seven.' It's unfortunate that he seems to overlook how these early learning experiences are foundational to skills used in business meetings and many other adult interactions. Later in the episode, the host made light of how a child's tantrum in public can 'embarrass' parents. I found it disheartening, even in jest, to hear him suggest that children are intentionally trying to embarrass their parents. In reality, young children are still learning to regulate their emotions and often lack the awareness to intentionally upset others. While I understand that this podcast may resonate with many listeners, it wasn’t quite what I had anticipated, and I was ultimately disappointed by the perspectives shared
Helpful & Healing
Jan 6
The helpful insights these episodes give me are just so invaluable. I know these things deep down, but have a hard time implementing sometimes. Or I get bogged down worrying about damage already done. I know I have things to improve in my parenting style. I SO appreciate hearing them from a source of understanding and learn ways that I can improve for my family. Thank you so much!
Amazing Insights
12/20/2024
I feel like I could listen to this podcast over and over again and still learn something new each time. My third child is a button pushing wild man who I adore but the tricks you've shared have helped us become closer and taken away the power struggle I've always had with him. Thank you for helping me learn how to control myself rather than letting him control my emotions. So eye opening.
