When approaching conversations about heated/emotional topics, there are probably 10 tips I could offer. But for now, I will offer six. This assumes that you want to build relationships, learn, and be constructive.

(If you just want to spout your opinion and don't care what emotional shape you leave another person in, then just do what 99% of people on tv and in your neighborhood do.)

1) Humility. Practice great humility. Assume you don't know all the facts, that you don't really understand the other person's perspective or experience. Assume that you're blind and have confirmation bias, that you consume opinions and viewpoints that merely reinforce your own (without even realizing it).

Assume that you will be defensive about your own deeply held beliefs. Because you will be, naturally. But fight that urge.

Assume that you don't really have the answers and that your reflexive, go-to response/opinion is probably informed by too little knowledge even though you feel justified in offering it.

2) Listen and ask questions. Often we are so busy composing our reply to the other person's views that we don't actually listen.

Be more curious about what the other person thinks than you are anxious about sharing your own thoughts.

3) Never, ever attack another person's motives...unless you want yours attacked. Few things feel worse than being misunderstood. Don't make it personal. Take the high road.

4) Assume that you're not going to convince the other person that you are right. Because you probably aren't. And that shouldn't be your goal anyway. A more mature approach is to have a desire to better understand others AND give them some perspective to think about and wrestle with in their own minds and hearts.

But if you are an overbearing jerk, or callous, or dismissive, or arrogant, they will not hear "truth" or consider your viewpoint. Why do you feel the need to prove your point? Why does this burn so deeply inside us as humans? Spend some time considering that.

5) Before you try to take the speck out of your neighbor's eye, first work on that big log in your own. Instead of trying to fix or control another human being, work on yourself. Own your own mess. That would keep each of us pretty busy every day. It's a full-time job for me.

6) Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Listen to that other person the way you want the other person to listen to you. Care for their heart, their soul, the way you want yours cared for. Respect that person's son, daughter, mother, or father the same way you want them to respect your son, daughter, mother or father.

If you and I don't do this one right, then any words or lectures or testimony about your faith ring hollow, are destined and deserved to be despised, and harm another person's soul and heart.

Relationships are more important than being right.

Dads-3 Ways to Get Kids to Respect & Listen to You We want our kids to respect us so we can pass our wisdom down to them, so they don’t make the same mistakes, so they will be successful. But our kids are frustrating and many of us didn't have a good role model as a father. So how can you change your relationship with a strong-willed child so that they trust and listen to you? Kirk gives you three specific strategies that work.

Finish School Strong: 5 Tips It’s been a long year and everyone is frustrated. Instead of spending all our energy trying to fix a child’s weaknesses, take these 5 simple steps to end the year building your child’s confidence. I want your child going into the next year feeling confident and hopeful.

Mommy Lectures Don't Work. This does. You want your kids to listen to you. They don’t. You want your kids to respect you. They don’t. That sweet voice that turns into yelling never works. Instead of trying to convince and explain and plead with your kids, Kirk shows you how to be the confident, authoritative leader your kids need. Kirk addresses food/nutrition, lying, meltdowns, and sibling fights. Learn what to say and how to say it.

Moms deserve much more than this. So how can you get your kids (and spouse) to respect you and your time 365 days of the year? Listen as Kirk gives you a specific script and practical action steps. No more walking on eggshells, no more exhaustion or pleading. Moms, you need to treat YOURSELF the way you want others to treat you.

Really want to stop the power struggles with your kids? Kirk has a challenge: for the next 3 days, control your own anxiety over your child’s behavior and watch what happens. Lecturing kids tells them, “You aren’t capable of being successful without me.” When you get on your kids about every little thing, they don’t thank you for being so conscientious! They fight you. When you react to them pushing your buttons, they are now in control of you! The truth is that YOU create so many power struggles over issues that don’t matter. All because of your own anxiety. So let’s break this generational pattern for good!

Do you agree or disagree with Kirk’s shocking advice for handling a child who yells at his Mom and defies her authority? Learn why some kids shut down and aren’t motivated. What do you do when one child takes all of your energy and attention? How do you help kids who give up when work becomes difficult? This is a fantastic podcast so don’t miss this one.

Struggling, Unmotivated Kids: 2 Ways to Help Okay, so this podcast is only for the courageous parent who wants to completely transform their relationship with a strong-willed child. Kirk gives you two scripts to use that he normally only reveals during the Parent BootCamp. We think you’ll cry when you realize how deep and affirming these statements are, and how misunderstood your kids are.

Can you imagine internalizing that you're a bad kid or stupid kid? Behavior charts crush our kids. But you can't just let kids get away with misbehavior when they struggle with following directions, focus and attention, blurting out, writing, social skills and more. Use this revolutionary approach and script Kirk provides, and your challenging kids can become leaders at home and in the class room. SHARE THIS WITH TEACHERS, PTA, AND PRINCIPAL.

Your child whines, negotiates, argues, says, "One more minute" or just refuses to do what you ask, then calls you mean. In this podcast, Kirk demonstrates the tone and attitude you need in order to get your kids to listen to and respect you...without yelling, explaining, begging, or giving empty threats.

It’s heartbreaking to hear kids say, “I’m stupid” and shut down. Your kids have struggles, but I don’t want to coddle them or make excuses. In fact, I want you to turn their negatives into positives. Listen until the end for one of the most powerful talks you could ever have with your child or student. SHARE THIS WITH TEACHERS.

Yeah, I know we all want the same thing: kids who are responsible, respectful and become good citizens. I’m going to share a very powerful secret that will get your kids to actually step up and be responsible for themselves. It will eliminate so many of the power struggles. This is inspiring!

Get Your Strong-Willed Kids to Do Stuff Without The Fight You have a strong-willed child who automatically resists you at every turn, chooses the harder path, and won’t do things the way you want them to be done. Kirk gives you 5 ways to get your kids to do homework, get ready in the morning, apologize, do chores, and more in this important podcast.

You had children. Why? What were your expectations? I bet life has turned out very different than you have envisioned it. That can either cause you to resent your strong-willed child or break generational patterns so your kids don’t struggle with the same issues. So let’s reframe what we really want so we can have curious, confident kids.

Stop Power Struggles With Strong-Willed Kids Do you need your children to behave, precisely because you cannot control yourself if they don’t? If your child is in a bad mood, does this change your mood? In this short podcast, Kirk shows you how to control yourself instead of controlling your child.

“My son has had an attitude lately. How can we change that?” Kirk gives you an entirely different way to frame this. “How can I get my hubby on board?” Kirk gives you four different scripts and one blunt approach. “How can we get our daughter to try new things?” Listen in as Kirk shares more great insight and strategies to break generational patterns.

Kirk explains why your kids get along better with adults, younger kids, and/or animals…but struggle with peers. Should you be concerned? Should your child see a counselor for this? His answer may surprise you. Not for the faint of heart so be ready to change yourself instead of your child!

Stop Trying to Fix Your Kids—Train Their Brains Have kids who forget to turn in homework, feel "dumb," get overwhelmed, blurt out, or struggle in school? Society will crush your child’s spirit and destroy their confidence. So you must teach your kids that their brains are different (even advantageous) and that there is nothing wrong with them. Kirk gives several specific examples that will help your kids be successful. Share this with your PTA, teachers and school counselors.

De-Escalate & Discipline A Defiant Child: My Best Podcast Ever This 30-minute podcast will change how you handle meltdowns, yelling, and discipline in your home. Ever feel helpless when your kids are out of control or defiant? So do your kids. So learn how to break these negative cycles, lead your child to calm, and show him/her how to deal with frustration. This is rich with insight into your kids…and you. Share this one. It will change relationships.

Q&A: Fairness, Getting Kids to Be Responsible & Calming Upset Students Kirk answers 6 tough questions from parents and teachers in this lightning round format. As always, his strategies are practical, creative, and they work! · How do we get kids to be more responsible for themselves (Kirk shares a great phrase every parent and teacher needs to master)? · How can we get a student to collaborate/work well with others in class? Should we mark down if that child doesn’t participate? · How do we calm an upset child instead of embarrassing the child and escalating the situation? · How do you discipline and redirect a student without causing him to shut down? · What about kids who get physical and have sensory issues?

Watch Your Tone! Calming Intense Kids. Your child gets upset, lashes out, picks on her brother, and the family walks on eggshells around her. Then she beats herself up. Yelling won't work. But talking to her with a sweet, affirming tone will actually make it worse as well. So how can you use intensity and a different tone of voice to change these situations? While you can't control your child's behavior, you can always control your tone of voice. And it's more critical than you know.

Your kids are expert button-pushers. So how do you respond instead of react? A child yells at his mom, dad yells at the child, and then mom has to clean up the mess. Hubby feels criticized and checks out. Resentments build. Tonight when a tense situation or power struggle occurs, how can you turn this into an OPPORTUNITY to completely change your family?

Consequences for Lying & Bad Behavior: A Radically Different Approach Your child lies, misbehaves, and does things that erode trust. Consequences won’t work. But THIS radically different approach will actually change your child’s behavior faster than anything else you’ve tried. Brave enough to listen and try it?
