I Feel Like A Failure As A Mom! My Child Won’t Listen!

“Our son won’t listen at home, school, or at soccer practice. He just does his own thing.

PANDAS, Pills, Patience & Pushups: Who Wins the Faceoff?

Your child is resistant to doing something they don’t like. You naturally get impatient. Your child whines and complains, and then takes a long time doing what you ask.

Responding to Blatant Disrespect & Backtalk

Sometimes our kids spit out words we would have never said to our parents. We fear they will grow up to be rude, entitled, and rejected in the real world if we let them get away with it. Kirk gives you several concise scripts to use when kids are disrespectful, sassy, and talk back.

What Anxiety Feels Like For Kids

Too often we stigmatize anxiety as if it's something bad when it's completely normal. Kirk recorded this to help both middle/high school kids and their parents normalize anxiety instead of fearing it. Feel free to let your kids listen as it may help them feel understood and stimulate helpful conversations.
