Do you ever feel like you are doing something wrong because your strong-willed child doesn’t readily comply? Do you ever feel caught in the middle playing peacekeeper between a spouse or rigid family with unrealistic expectations or religious beliefs and a kid who is just being a kid? Do you sometimes struggle letting go of the “Because I Said So” mentality demanding immediate obedience from kids? I want to show you a better way—so you can trade fear-based discipline for trusting connection that motivates your kids to listen, without fear.

P.S. We can share the Calm Parenting Bundle with family members so they can understand your child and support you—instead of judge you. Visit https://celebratecalm.com/products/ or email Casey@CelebrateCalm.com with questions or for financial assistance.

Deep breathing, punching pillows and “naming the emotion” sound great on paper—until you try them with an intense child. These traditional calming tools can actually backfire—leaving your child angrier and feeling incapable of managing their emotions. Learn why narrating your child’s emotions is one of the worst things you can do…and instead walk away with actionable, word-for-word scripts that diffuse big emotionsand give your child confidence in their ability to self-regulate. A must listen so please share.

P.S. LET YOUR KIDS LISTEN to the Calm Parenting Bundle. We can recommend specific programs for them. Visit https://celebratecalm.com/products/ to take advantage of our Back-To-School Sale. Email Casey@CelebrateCalm.com with questions or for financial assistance.
