  • Why You Do NOT Want Kids to Be Immediately Obedient: Raising Fearless Leaders, Not Fearful Robots. #636
    Sep 20 2026

    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.

  • Why “Name It To Tame It” & Punching Pillows Don’t Work For Intense Kids #635
    Sep 16 2026

    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.

  • There Is Hope For Your ADHD Neurodivergent Child Who Can’t Focus (& 10 Ways to Stop Homework Battles) #634
    Sep 13 2026

    Do you have a child who would rather argue for 2 hours over homework rather than complete it in 20 minutes?! Those of us with ADHD or neurodivergent brains learn in different ways, but schools usually only teach one way…leaving us feeling inferior and frustrated. That leads to unnecessary stress and fights over homework. I want to share odd, but effective ways to improve focus and executive function using the brain’s natural super powers. And I will share a story I’ve never told so that you know there is hope for your child! Let your kids listen to this episode so they know how THEIR brain works best!

  • Disciplining & Loving Kids When They REALLY Mess Up : A Guide to Tough Talks & Tough Love #631
    Sep 6 2026

    You and I have impulsive, emotional kids who are prone to sneaking screens or food at night and experimenting with porn, drinking, vaping, and drugs. They may steal your credit card for an online purchase. Just confronting them will cause them to be more sneaky or lie. But you can’t let them get away with it. I give you a script and step-by-step process for having tough talks to prevent this behavior from happening again. And I share how a rigid, career military Dad bonded with a son he had nothing in common with.
