Are You Letting Kids “Get Away” With Things? You are going to get judged by other parents, family and friends who whisper that you are letting your SWC get away with things. You will second-guess yourself. People will say, “You just need to discipline that child more.” And you’ll think in your heart, “Hey, thanks, I never thought before to try being firm and consistent and following through on my consequences. Thanks!” Of course you have done all the RIGHT things and yet it still doesn’t work with this child. In this important episode, Kirk gives you insight into your child’s brain and heart—and your own triggers—that could just change your relationships and home.  This is the final week of our Mother's Day Sale.
