Summary
You Are NOT Responsible For Your Child’s Happiness, Mood or Gratitude

So how can you stay connected with your child while you teach them how to handle the inevitable disappointment, frustration, and boredom of life? Kirk shows you how in this important podcast.

| 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 |
| 0:43.4 | your happy place. Use the cozy earth bamboo sheets. We'd love those. And this new blanket, |

| 1:24.3 | project wasn't perfect. Is their unhappiness hard for you? Do you ever feel like |
| 1:30.4 | fixing things to make it all better? Of course you do. But moms and dads, you are not responsible |
| 1:38.0 | for your child's happiness. You're not responsible for their mood and you're not responsible for |
| 1:42.9 | their gratitude. |
| 1:47.7 | And I know some of you were triggered by the title of this podcast. |
| 1:51.7 | So I'm proud of you for pushing through to get this far. |
| 1:56.3 | That is what we're going to discuss on today's episode of the Calm Parenting Podcast. |
