• “I’m A Bad Kid. I’m Stupid.” Kid Who Works Slowly, Daydreams, Doesn’t Participate. #473

  Many of our kids begin to internalize, “I’m a bad kid, I’m slow so I’m not smart, there’s something wrong with me. I’m always in trouble, no one is ever happy with me.” That internal dialogue will sabotage your child’s success and relationships for a lifetime (many of us still struggle with limiting beliefs). The good news is we can change that NOW. Kirk gives you specific scripts to cultivate your child’s confidence and help teachers get on board.Our Mother's Day Sale Begins This Week!

• What It’s Like To Be A Mom…From A Mom #472

  I don’t know what it’s like to be a Mom. So I wanted to share the powerful reflections of a real life Mom—not an expert Mom or someone who has it all together—for three reasons. Because her voice, like yours, deserves to be heard and respected and honored. I think this will encourage A LOT of Moms so you feel seen. And you may want to ask/request that your husband listen to this as an early Mother’s Day gift so he really understands you. Our Mother's Day Sale Begins TODAY!

• 5 Things I Feared About My Son & His Future #470

  5 Things I Feared About My Son & His Future #470Our son had extremely intense meltdowns, got in trouble routinely at school, didn't study or try his hardest, had a messy bedroom, and left lights on everywhere. Diagnosed with an alphabet soup of labels, he didn't listen, did argue, and underperformed in school. How did we address these issues and did we really have reasons to fear for his future? This is both very practical and encouraging! This is the FINAL week of our Spring Sale on the Get Everything Package.
