On this episode of The Fresh Start Family Show, Wendy chats with the funny and insightful Kirk Martin, founder of Celebrate Calm and host of the Calm Parenting podcast.  They explore 3 tools we can use to help de-escalate situations with our strong-willed kids when they're upset that are effective and actually create closeness when parenting a strong-willed kiddo: Self-Regulation: We must control our own emotions first before we address the child. The quickest way to change your child's behavior is to first control your own. Movement: Motion changes emotion. Sometimes talking makes kids more upset. Use movement to help calm an upset child. Connection: Relationships change behavior. Staying connected, especially during discipline creates trust & safety, which kids NEED in order to learn effective self-regulation.  Strong-willed kids are incredible, AND they can often be misunderstood. This episode gives us a fresh and empowered perspective on these kiddos and how to support their big feelings.

Whether it's a teammate at work or a child at home, helping others to improve can be frustrating, especially when they don't respond to consequences...and maybe push your buttons.Today's guest has spent decades working with thousands of families with strong-willed children. Kirk Martin is the founder of Celebrate Calm and host of the Calm Parenting Podcast. On this episode of The Clarity Advisors Show, he and host Ken Trupke look at the overlap between good parenting principles and good leadership principles and share practical tips to help you be a better parent...and a better leader.Timestamps:(01:26): Origins of Celebrate Calm.(04:52): Turning it into a business.(07:41): Evolution of the product and the team.(10:47): Misconceptions about strong-willed kids(16:55): Escalating our own problems.(23:35): Importance of validation.(25:08): Giving space to respond rather than react.(26:20): Body posture.(28:57): Performing under pressure.(36:30): How strong-willed kids are like adults.(38:31): Ways to learn more and contact Kirk Martin.Episode quotes:“I loved my son, but I just spent all my time trying to change him. I thought he was the issue because he's so difficult...until I realized he was just like me. I was the issue.”“The quickest way to change your child's behavior is to first control your own because we trigger each other all the time.”“ADHD is pretty much a predictor of a really good entrepreneur.”“With parenting strong-willed kids, so much of it is tone of voice. I wanted to do recordings because mom could listen, dad could listen, and they could get down the tone of voice to use with a strong-willed child.”“It's not like consequences keep us from making bad choices. Jails aren't filled because people didn't know the consequence of stealing or murder. They knew the consequence, but there's usually something deeper going on.”“This isn't permissive parenting, where we'll just let them do whatever they want. Not at all. It's teaching because discipline literally means to teach.”“There's something about sitting that changes my tone of voice. Instead of standing in a cubicle over the employee or my colleague, if I come in and just sit, it changes something. It creates a different dynamic and you talk a little bit differently.”“You don't have to (react) in the moment. You're the leader. If somebody's in your office or on the phone and they bring something up, you can say, ‘Hey, I really want to give that the attention it deserves and I can't do that right now. Let me consider it and give you a call back,” to buy yourself some time (to respond).” (Ken)“Strong-willed kids aren't great at childhood, but they're really good at the adult world.”Recommended reading and listening:Calm Parenting Podcast with Kirk MartinForbes magazine interview with Kirk Martin Connect with Kirk Martin:CelebrateCalm.comCalm Parenting on Facebook

The parenting journey is a tough one. You can feel like you are losing your temper and loosing your mind. Today's episode offers blunt and relatable advise on how to calm our own parenting fears, discipline our children my modeling and offering a deep connection. Today's episodes tackles topics like: boundaries vs worthiness demanding respect vs demonstrating respect "Discipline isn't something you do to children, It's something you develop within them." Dr. Becky A. Bailey Show take aways: Don't deprive someone else the privilege and joy of helping you. It's ok to ask for help. One of the greatest gifts you can give your kids (or loved ones) is doing something for yourself. You can't demand respect, but you can demonstrate self respect. Deal with your fear of rejection, use this phrase "Of course, my preference is valuable". If you don't care enough about yourself, they why would anyone else care about you. Humble yourself. Humility is a powerful tool with a strong willed child. Try having a difficult/great discussion in the car, sitting side by side. Use real life conflict to get to the root of the issue. Goal: I want to teach my kids, that when their world is out of control...mine is not. I can deal with you at your worst, and you can trust me. Formula for offering "perspective" to our kids: plant a seed give space offer support Please Check out CelebrateCalm.com to find more of Kirks offerings. He has a great package deal!

Does your kid push your buttons all the time? Power struggles are not unusual in a parent-child relationship. You basically come from two completely different generations, what do you expect? Parenting is difficult enough. What more if you added in your daily struggles as an entrepreneur. But it doesn't have to be that way. Stop spending all your energy trying to control and change your kid because the only person in life that you can truly control is yourself. In today's episode, learn how you can balance parenting and your business from Kirk Martin, founder of Celebrate Calm and Calm Parenting University. Kirk is also the host of the Calm Parenting Podcast. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Dealing with a difficult child requires a mindset shift How to control your emotions as a parent Focus on leading rather than pushing Kirk's superhero story which became his eureka moment Lessons from running a book writing business Episode Highlights: How to Deal with a Difficult Child You can actually control your child's response not by controlling them, but by how you control yourself. The quickest way to change your child's behavior is to first control your own. Instead of yelling, start asking questions and listen. This requires a big mindset shift. When you use humility instead of manipulation, your child will begin to listen to you. How to Control Your Emotions First, realize that it just doesn't work. You can get compliance from a child in that moment. But you're actually not building that relationship. You're not changing the heart. Be honest with yourself to recognize that you're just being a baby because you didn't get your way. When you yell at your child and they're upset because they didn't get their way, guess where they're learning that from? You, obviously. Second, body posture is important. Sit down instead of standing up, and you'll notice how that simple dynamic could change your tone. You don't see two people arguing while sitting and reclining in a chair. Third, do the opposite of what you normally do. Identify your triggers and notice how your tone starts to change and how your child reacts. Once you see this pattern, do the opposite of what you usually do. Focus on leading them rather than pushing them. For instance, instead of barking in their room, come in and sit on their bedside for 15 seconds, and mention something they're interested in. By taking interest rather than barking out your anxiety, you're giving them what they actually need, which is your time. You're paying attention to them, and so, you've turned that anxiety into love.

Kirk Martin founder of Celebrate Calm & host of both Calm Parenting Podcast & Calm Christian Parenting Podcast joins me today to talk about his journey to become a calm parent. He didn't start out his parenting journey being calm.  He was kind of a jerk, but he found that if he would control his own reaction to his son's behavior their relationship was transformed. Now he & Casey go into schools to share their story & share the methods they used to improve their relationship with teachers, children & parents. We also discuss his transition from a corporate employee to an entrepreneur.  Full show notes can be found at www.justaddliberty.com/20

He has helped almost a million parents and teachers tackle some of the most challenging issues parents face like power-struggles, defiance and disrespect, bullying, sibling fights, de-motivated kids, kids with ADHD and so much more. He gives specific concrete strategies that work in everyday situations. And that's what I love about his program and his podcast is he has situations that he describes that I feel are exactly what I face with my four boys. We've applied Kirk's strategies in my house and it has certainly been a positive benefit to us. And I could go on and on about Kirk, let me just say this.If you've ever gotten angry at your kids or if you've ever felt anxiety or helpless about your kids' behavior, then you need to hear what Kirk has to say, because I think it could really change your life. Show NotesCelebrate Calm websiteMusic: It's Near by DJ Quads

Siblings fight. It's true. It's something most parents have come to expect, but still find it impossible to accept. And you really should only expect that it happens on occasion, not all the time. What I found so intriguing from my conversation with Kirk Martin of Celebrate Calm for this episode is that the fighting is more often about boredom and low confidence than anything else. It circles back to one of my favorite life tenants — when you feel good, you do good. Kirk shares how to help your kids feel good, so they're good to each other.

Kirk Martin developed the parenting approach of Celebrate Calm out of necessity in the parenting his own child. It may sound simple, but his strategy is a game changer. The basic principle is that you can only lead your child to calm when you first find that calm within yourself. I am not sure about the rest of you but 2020 has not lent itself to a feeling of calm for me. I talk with Kirk about finding calm during this time of pandemic and parenting when many of us are not feeling very stable.
