“Let me start by saying I’ve NEVER written a review for a podcast. I’ve listened to podcasts for almost 8 years and have never written on one. This is the one! I’m blown away! We have paid therapists and tried medication and pray continuously for our kids. This podcast is the most straight...”Read full review »

We listened to a few episodes when we got away for a weekend and we felt understood, less guilty, motivated, and we felt encouraged that we were already implementing some things so we weren’t completely off base. We’ve already put...”Read full review »

“This podcast has changed the way our house operates. I was too soft before. Not enough boundaries and eventually I’d flip to the other extreme and lose my temper. It wasn’t working for anyone. Kirk has taught me how to lovingly put my foot down when needed. Every episode leaves me with an aha...”Read full review »

“Love this podcast. Very practical and straight-forward. I don’t understand why the reviewer on Feb 10,2024 thinks he “picks on” homeschoolers. That listener must not realize Kirk speaks at homeschool conventions and has been a guest on homeschool podcasts, and was a homeschooler himself. ...”Read full review »

“We found Kirk at a homeschool convention and it was by far the best experience there. We have not one but 3 strong willed kids 16-8 and over the years we have leaned so much and continue to grow and apply as much as we learn. This is such fundamental parenting no tricks or long books just...”Read full review »

“I love the way that Kirk never puts parents down, but instead gives advice that can easily be applied to real life advice. I chuckle out loud while listening to the podcast because nearly every episode he monologues a scenario between a strong-willed child and their parent and it’s as though he’s...”Read full review »

“I listen to several parenting podcasts just to renew my mom heart. This podcast is my favorite for practical, real situation, advice. I love how he says “expect this behavior” and “stop being so shocked!” but he actually helps us with how to do that. I have even emailed them several times and...”Read full review »

“This show is fantastic. I can see how this would work on most children. Other parenting podcasts are so enervating and out of touch — an unachievable standard for the parent. What I love most about this podcast is that the host sides with the child, normalizes child behavior that might worry...”Read full review »
