Calm the Chaos: A Fail-Proof Road Map for Parenting Even the Most Challenging Kids

Product Information

My special guest this week is Robyn Gobbel, MSW, who used to work as a licensed social worker in Texas and Michigan.

Backed by science and tested by hundreds of thousands of families, Calm the Chaos is a revolutionary road map complete with in-the-trenches stories, scripts, prompts, and worksheets that make it simple for parents to build a safe home and support healthy kids. Empowerment Strategies: Involving the child in creating a plan for handling overwhelming situations effectively.Join us in this episode for empowering discussions and practical advice to assert your parenting choices confidently. Her framework is straight-forward and clearly based on a deep understanding, love and respect for all kids.

EPISODE 37: Unwanted parenting advice, whether from family, friends, or even strangers, can be a significant source of stress and doubt for parents, particularly those with strong-willed, highly-sensitive, or neurodivergent children. The book explains all about moments of safety, how to manage your guilt, shame and temper and how kids see us in these moments.

I am currently using it for my own burnout to really understand myself and make the changes I need to move forward and it has helped way more than any of the hundreds of articles on burnout that I have read through.

This book is not a text book about neurodiversity but a letter from the heart to us mums who are finding life too much. I highly recommend this empowering and helpful book for parents of all kids, but most especially those who have children struggling with their behavioral or mental health.

In just a few short weeks I've become more focused on what needs to be done and I'm getting so much better at my own accountability. Reading Calm the Chaos and finding strategies that actually work with our child is re-affirming and relieving.
