So here's a very common email that we get. My husband and I have been arguing almost every night about how to get our son to listen better.

His school, after school programmer, emailing us about how he's having trouble listening.

We've even seen a soccer practice. He was distracted. emailing us about how he's having trouble listening.

We've even seen it soccer practice.

He was distracted, not listening to the coach,

doing his own thing on the field.

And I know he's not doing it out of disobedience.

He's just absorbed in his own world. He's daydreaming and I'm feeling like a big

failure as a mom that I'm not able to get him to overcome this. So can you relate to that? I bet you can because we've all been there, right?

As we all can relate because raising Strongwill Kids is really, really challenging.

So on this special Mother's Day edition of the Calling Parenting

Podcast, I want to give you both practical ways

to help your kids focus better

and at the same time reassure you why this isn't even

that important for younger kids. So welcome, this is Kirk Martin, I'm founder of CelebrateCom,

you can find us of Celebrate Calm. You can find us at

Celebrate Calm.com. If you need help, reach out to our son, Casey, C-A-S-E-Y,

at Celebrate Calm. This is the kid, this mom's email could have been Casey's mom's email. Our email to someone back then

because he didn't listen well. He had trouble at school all the time. Why do you think I got into this field? It was to try to get Casey, keep Casey from getting kicked out of different schools for different things, right? And soccer? I remember him being they put him in goal,

playing soccer, because that's what I did when I was a kid, right? And I look, he's not even

watching the game. He was in the net, playing with the net,

looking at other kids behind them.
