3 Quick Facts
(1) You have a billion times more control over your child’s behavior by controlling your own behavior. Parenting isn’t even really about kids–it’s about parents.
(2) Parents spend thousands of dollars and every waking minute worrying about their child’s behavior–when in most instances, it’s really about YOUR behavior!
(3) The good news is that you cannot control another human being’s behavior, but you have 100% control over your own. Well, that’s assuming you can control yourself. You must.
This summer, take the Calm Challenge. Focus relentlessly on changing yourself and we’ll show you how to calm your kids. So here’s how one everyday Mom just like you, with three kids, put this into action in very practical ways.
SIBLING FIGHTS
“So one day my 7-year-old ran outside to tell on his brother, as usual, but this time I said, ‘Give me two minutes.’“I really did go make myself a bag of popcorn and walked into the room where they were fighting and sat. I said, ‘You all demonstrate great debating and arguing skills, maybe one of you will be a lawyer one day. I am just here to watch but if you want to problem solve I am here to talk about it, when you are ready.’
“What happened then was amazing to me. My four-year-old said, ‘Mommy, I need to roll the thinking ball.’ I complemented him on what a wonderful idea that was and soon the 7-year-old was rolling the ball with us. We worked through the problem while I complimented them on the skills they used to get to a calm place.
“My 10-year-old looked at me and said, ‘Wow, Mom. I like the way you handled that. You didn’t yell, you were just calm and talked to them so they could work it out.’ I am not a crier but I cried.”
I love how this Mom trusted her kids to own this disagreement rather than jumping in to fix it. She trusted her kids to step up and own their issues, while staying engaged and teaching them how.

“My older son has been stealing snacks out of the pantry. I made him a ‘Secret Snack Box.’ I made rules about when and how he can get snacks, and it has given me the opportunity to compliment him on self confidence, self control, critical thinking skills. He has not stolen any snacks in 2 days now AND all the ‘secret snacks’ are still there! I cried, again.
CHORES
“This morning, I gave our boys a list of things I wanted them to finish by 5pm. ‘I am going swimming at 5pm. If you guys are finished, you may go with me.’ Even my strong-willed one was done by 3:30pm. This is a HUGE accomplishment for him. And, well, for myself actually.
“Normally he would be dawdling and I’d repeat, nag, or provoke him. But today I did not nag him. He did the last thing on the list first, which is what you said he would do! That made me laugh (instead of getting angry). Then he did 30 other things I didn’t ask him to do and played in between–just as you said!
“But I controlled myself instead of controlling him. I caught myself several times jumping up to remind him or say something, but I didn’t. I simply set timers and confidently did what I said I would–and I’ve never seen them move so fast.
“I feel like for the first time in a long time I am building, teaching and understanding. It is working and I have cried like a baby every day for the last 6 days.”
This isn’t even really about the kids–it’s all about the Mom’s attitude and confidence. Are you ready to cry happy tears for once, to feel confident, like you know exactly what to do and say? Are you ready to change yourself?
