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 »

My husband and I are grateful to have discovered your podcast. 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 »

Life and Family Changing!!!
John benco via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/20/24
My brain is being re-wired with each podcast. Immediate, practical, down to earth insight and advice. Kirk is a straight shooter who also is humble! I cannot say enough great things about this podcast and how much it has helped my family, especially a son that has a disability. Thank you!!!!

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 »

Best parenting podcast I’ve found for practical, inspiring advice and information. From a mom of 5 kids ages 9-adult.

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 »

No book, no counseling, no “friendly advice” helped with our strong-willed child until we found Kirk’s program and this podcast.
scottinthe503 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/15/23
This podcast has literally changed my parenting and my relationship with my “strong-willed” child. It has helped me to understand my child better and to understand how best to discipline him. The best part is…IT WORKS! Everything he says is SPOT ON for parenting a child with ADHD. While all of...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 »
Endless_Summer 167223 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/12/23
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 »

Olilie_bear via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/06/23
Thank you for empowering me to give my child clear, direct boundaries and actions that don’t break down her spirit but help her thrive in the real world.
She Who Rides Far via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/06/23
It’s not always easy to hear the truth about needing to change as a parent but he does it in such an encouraging way. It’s also really comforting knowing you are not alone in parenting strong willed children. I have learned to appreciate my son so much more and understand how I can change to be...Read full review »

No nonsense- Kirk jumps right into the topic and I really appreciate his efficiency! He gives scripts along with his explanations which I find especially helpful. Five stars. Highly recommend.

My husband had been teasing me because every day now I say something that starts with “Kirk says . . . “ This podcast has been helping our family tremendously by giving very practical advice and challenging is to change how we view our child. Kirk is straightforward and realistic, but what I...Read full review »
Erin shenk via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/23
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 »

Thank you for the kind and firm challenge to me as a parent and mom! It’s been just exactly what I’ve needed to hear for parenting strategies, insight into my son, and great advice on ways I need to change!

Such a great podcast. This is a very relatable podcast. He gives parenting tips that are easy to assimilate into daily life. Thank you for helping me reframe my mind on parenting.
brilliantNP via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/13/22
Kirk has THE BEST parenting advice out there! I’ve seen him in person and he’s just as funny and relatable there as he is here. Thank God for him and his help!
Parent of 10 & 13 😵‍💫 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/28/22
I need to start leaving reviews more, I remembered this one because of Kirk’s Son, Casey. I have been listening for a good amount of time that I feel I can give an honest, genuine review. I will start by sharing that I am a mom of 3, ages 4, 5, and 9 two of which have special needs so needless...Read full review »

I’m only 1/2 way through the first episode and I can already tell I have found the help I need. I literally think I am going through exactly what he did when his son was young with my son now. I don’t know how else to say thank you!!
Yoda0922 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/02/22
These tips are so helpful and I love how straight to the point each episode is. Would highly recommend to anyone! And you can tell they truly care about helping parents and children!

Your podcast has helped me develop me relationship with my son and to understand him. Thank you so much. For so long thinking I was a terrible parent to now understanding what is going on and what I need to be doing to make a positive change. Thank you!
Kateskates23 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/13/22
I love this podcast, Kirk completely understands strong willed children and how their brains work. He also understands parents and the mistakes parents make trying to help them. Great tools
America1938 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/11/22
Love this podcast. It’s seriously helping change my mindset about raising my awesome strong willed child. The only thing I would change is the length. I wish it was a little longer because sometimes I feel like it’s barely long enough and I’d like him to go a little deeper explaining things
N Munoz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/25/21
Wow! Short and perfect episodes! His Dad talk is so spot on and husband and wife. Something I could not put into words but he can. Praise! Tears!
Jamie Ponca City via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/10/21
I have listened to A LOT of books, podcast, YouTube channels, etc about how to parent my high-needs child who is on the spectrum. This podcast has helped the most bc it’s not a bunch of clinical jargon or assume you are a mental health professional. Kirk not only has great info but it you listen...Read full review »

Kirk has a way with words and really telling you off. Encouraging and inspiring. I don’t have a difficult child... I am the difficult child. Great reminders on how to be a better person and parent

Kirk, I love this podcast!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!♥️♥️♥️
Jo Emm via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/14/21
This guy is real, blunt, honest, vulnerable, and down to earth. His wisdom and understanding comes from his own experience, learning from his own mistakes. I can really relate to him because I see myself making the same mistakes. Parenting is a LOT of hard work and I sometimes get discouraged....Read full review »

This is the best parenting podcast I have found. It's not just the advice, which is practical and excellent, but it's the attitude that comes with it--it's a message of grace. Grace for parents, grace for kids. Thank you so much.Read full review »
Bridget Salys via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/07/21
Man this information is so good, I think you need to write a book Kirk. I love the CD’s, I love the podcast, but give the people another medium.
iDaddyO via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/06/21
Ok, so by the grace of God I happened upon your podcast on an especially hard day of parenting. I’ve listened to episodes here and there because, honestly, I would forget that this wasn't the same kind of “woo-woo” parenting podcast as all of the others; you know, the ones that don’t actually...Read full review »

Just one podcast changed my entire life. Kirk and Casey , I can’t thank you enough for your wisdom and your straight talk on being a “Mom who does too much” Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Commercial for buying a product. Not enough content.
molly@201 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/14/21
Thank you to Kirk and Casey! They do an exceptional job communicating their practical steps of connecting with our children and spouse. As a father of two and a youth minister of about 80 young people, these nuggets of connection and communication are priceless. Thank you!
