  • Why Smiley Faces, Sad Faces & Typical Discipline Methods Are Destructive And Make Behavior Worse #579

    Why Smiley Faces, Sad Faces & Typical Discipline Methods Are Destructive And Make Behavior Worse #579
    Apr 5 2026

    Should you give your child rewards or an allowance for good behavior or a good report card? Is there a better alternative to schools using smiley faces and sad faces on behavior charts? Why do I hate the following: “You’re not a bad kid. You just made bad choices?” The final example of how a child applied our discipline tools (in a cheeky way!) is worth the listen! **Stop the yelling, power struggles, and daily chaos—get 50% off the Calm Parenting Bundle this Spring. https://celebratecalm.com/products/

  • When A Child Is Defiant & Verbally Disrespectful: A Script and Action Plan #578

    When A Child Is Defiant & Verbally Disrespectful: A Script and Action Plan #578
    Apr 1 2026

    You have a challenging child who says disrespectful things to your face. You would never have even thought such things toward your parents so there’s a war inside you. You would be justified in punishing this child, but that won’t fix the underlying issues or relationship. I want to give you very clear scripts and a step-by-step action plan to handle these situations. **Stop the yelling, power struggles, and daily chaos—get 50% off the Calm Parenting Bundle this Spring. https://celebratecalm.com/products/

These podcasts are brilliant. They were recommended by a friend and I wish I had found then sooner. The podcasts make complete sense and make you think about things differently in everyday situation, and implement little changes that really can help.

Fantastic

It’s an ad for his paid materials. He just keeps on and on about what we are going to learn and what we van achieve, but he never really explains how. That, I’m gueassing, is included in the paid content he keeps mentioning.
