So do you have a child who holds it together all day at school for the teachers, but then walks in the door and saves a nasty meltdown for you, right?

Or maybe you have a teen or tween who at the end of the day just kind of grunts and they won't open up about anything.

They just kind of shut down.

And that afternoon evening time, right?

You've been at work, right?

It's been a long day? It's before dinner, so everybody's kind of

tired and hungry, it's brutal. So I want to give you some ideas to stop some of that afternoon

chaos on this episode of the Calm Parenting Podcast.

So this podcast opening is dedicated to Candace in Australia because she's awesome and

emailed our son and said hey when I listen to your dad's podcast I always

giggle when he says celebrate calm dot com because the way we say calm is how you say calm and the way we say calm is how you say

calm. Could you please ask your dad to shout out to all the Australians and when he

says the website if he could swap those words around,

so it sounds like he's saying it in our Australian accent.

So Candice, this is Kirk Martin,

founder of Celebratecom.com.

You can find us at Celebratecom.com. You can find us at Celebratecom. Or if you're not Australian,

Celebrate calm.com. If you need help, email our son Casey, C-A-S-E-Y at Celebratecom.

Call and tell us about your family, what you're struggling with,

ages of the kids, we get together,

sometimes we even get together and talk about it

in an Australian accent.
