Moms, there’s no shame if we need help connecting with our kids. After all, building a relationship isn’t intuitive—it takes work.
Kirk Martin, a dad and founder of the Celebrating Calm platform, has helped thousands of parents build strong relationships with their children. Spoiler: the strategy works by changing the parents’ approach, not the children.
Kirk’s experience centers on strong-willed kids and those with ADD and ADHD. He offers all families real examples of success and hacks we can try today. Join us to hear:
- how to identify a strong-willed child and why they require a unique approach
- reframing discipline as a form of teaching
- what it means to validate a child with intensity, even if it feels counterintuitive
- how to eliminate power struggles with a small investment of time and some quirky interventions
- using body language and tone of voice to diffuse a stalemate
