A Powerful Parenting Strategy: Calm. Strong. Done.

In today’s episode, we dive into a transformative parenting technique known as "Strong Calm Done" devised by ADHD coach Cindy Goldrich.  This method helps parents assert authority and manage tense situations with their teenagers without escalating emotions. Here’s a quick breakdown:

• Strong: Emphasizes being a dependable and loving anchor for your teen.
• Calm: Focuses on maintaining composure, no matter the situation.
• Done: Applies when setting non-negotiable boundaries.

We explored real-life scenarios where parents effectively used this technique to address common challenges such as school distractions and disrespectful behavior at home. By adopting "Strong Calm Done," parents can ensure they handle high-stakes situations effectively, keeping the family dynamic healthy and respectful.

This technique is not just a way to enforce rules but a strategy to strengthen communication and understanding between parents and their teenagers, promoting a calm and supportive household environment.
