Don’t miss this powerful discussion on raising sensitive, emotionally intense, and neurodiverse children while fostering a strong family bond!

In this episode, parenting coach, professional counselor, personality trainer, and mom of seven, Jami Kirkbride shares a pivotal piece of advice she learned during her journey as a mom: "All communication is behavior, and challenging behaviors are not always defiance or disrespect."

For Jami, this realization became life-changing as she navigated raising a highly sensitive, emotionally intense child who exhibited challenging behaviors. Like many parents, she initially believed that much of her child's actions were rooted in defiance or disrespect. But through experience, she learned the importance of reshaping her approach—understanding her child’s unique wiring and needs.

Jami dives deep into the mindset shift that helped her move from reactive to curious, focusing on what her child’s behavior was communicating. She shares how this new perspective on behavior led to a more connected, empathetic parenting style.

Drawing from her personal journey and professional expertise, Jami now teaches other parents these valuable insights through her Calm Connection Parent Coaching Program. Tune in to hear Jami's story, and learn faith-based strategies to help you lead your child with empathy, understanding, and connection, even through their most challenging moments.

Jami resides on a ranch in Wyoming where she and her husband are raising seven children. She has appeared on ChannelMom Radio and her work has been featured on MOPS International, CBN.com, and several other radio and podcast program. She is co-author of The You Zoo, a children's personality and parenting resource. Visit ParentingWithPersonality.com to learn more about her coaching program, app, and soon to be launched podcast!
