Considering UN-Schooling? A Practical Framework
Considering UN-Schooling? A Practical FrameworkThis is an opportunity to customize your child's education around his or her natural gifts, passions, curiosity, and learning style. But there is no single path because each child is different. You will ALWAYS feel like you're not doing enough. You will get judged and second-guess yourself. In this bonus podcast, Kirk provides a helpful framework for your un-schooling adventure. (If you want to talk to Kirk about this personally, email Casey@CelebrateCalm.com with the word Unschooling in the subject line). Learn more about your ad choices.

Why Kids Choose Consequences Over Simply Doing What You Ask
Why Kids Choose Consequences Over Simply Doing What You AskYou give a strong-willed child a simple instruction. If they would simply do what you asked, they’d be done in 7 minutes.

A Personal, Self-Serving, 5-Minute Podcast!
A Personal, Self-Serving, 5-Minute Podcast!This is personal and self-serving so if you don’t want to listen to all 5:39 of it, here’s the gist. You don’t owe me anything and I don’t need you to support me. I do want you to know that in order for me to get paid by the brands who advertise on the podcast, you have to actually listen to the ads. They know if you skip them or not! You can play through the ads at 1.5 speed and that works. You just have to let the ad play through for it to count. So if you feel so inclined, listen to the ads. I do appreciate that. For those who are interested, I explain how the ads work in this short podcast. Learn more about your ad choices.
