0:00.0	So I bet I have a way for even reluctant teens and tweens to spend time with you.
0:05.4	Sit and better on the sofa, wrapped in the heavenly softness of the new cozy earth bubble cuddle
0:10.8	blanket. It is so ridiculously soft. Your toddlers, your teens, pets, even your spouse is going to
0:16.8	want to cuddle with you. And you will have the best talks all wrapped up together. We absolutely
0:23.7	love our bubble cuddle blanket because it's the perfect combination of style and comfort. Oh,
0:29.5	and your sensory kids, forget about it. They're going to try to steal the cozy earth bubble
0:33.7	cuddle blanket from your room. I'd have them do extra chores to buy their own, but then you
0:38.6	might not be able to get them out of bed. Look, your bed shouldn't just be a place to sleep. It should be

1:21.5	And we're going to cover what do we do with that provoking child? How about the child who gets
1:26.6	picked on teaching them to speak up and how can
1:29.7	you deal with it so it just doesn't drive you crazy so much? That is what we're going to discuss
1:34.3	on this episode of the Calm Parenthood podcast. So welcome. This is Kirk Martin, founder of Celebrate Calm.
1:38.6	You can find us and the final days of our Christmas and July sale at celebratecalm.com. I'm going to ask you a favor. This is also the final days of our Christmas and July sale at celebrate calm.com. I'm going to ask you a
1:45.9	favor. This is also the final few days of my special hiking trip with our son Casey. And I had a
1:52.4	different podcast already planned and recorded, but I've gotten so many emails and questions.
