In this episode, I share one of my favorite stories (and lessons) about turning those frustrating “pick up your toys!” moments into something surprisingly calm — even kind of fun. We’ll talk about what really works when your kids don’t do what they said they’d do, how to guide them without losing your cool, and why sometimes the quietest response can make the biggest impact. It’s part story, part lesson, and totally real — because every parent’s been there. Grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and let’s laugh (and learn) our way through one of parenting’s greatest daily battles: getting kids to follow through… without the yelling.
