Calm Parenting Podcast

I am glad I finally found this well balanced podcast! I listened to another podcast previous to this about how to parent without punishments or consequences and it was making life very miserable in our house (I would recommend staying away from those type of podcasts). This podcast is great because he doesn’t say don’t do those things, instead, he focuses on connection, remaining calm, self control as a parent, and finding the root cause of misbehavior; however, when done in a calm manner, punishments are still necessary and relevant in parenting. We are never going to be the parents who just don’t punish or correct our kids, and that was making everything worse in our house! This podcast helps me to focus on staying calm and focusing on connection, which in turn results in better behavior from our kids. I highly recommend this podcast.

I get something out of every single episode and it has changed our family for the better!

This podcast has been very helpful in dealing with my strong willed 5 year old! I’ve been working through the courses as well (thanks for keeping them so affordable and easily accessible). I really love the real life examples on the podcast, even of parents not doing it perfectly. It really helps to know none of us are going to parent perfectly but there is grace in learning!

This is the most helpful parenting podcast I have come across (and I listen to a lot)! Kirk gives practical examples, scripts, and tangible ideas of how to respond to our kids in a variety of situations. The short format helps keep the concepts fresh in my mind for when these situations come up in real life. So thankful for this podcast and these resources!
