Calm for Overwhelmed Families: International Day of Calm with Parenting Coach Celia Kibler

If your home feels loud, tense, or constantly on edge, you are not alone—especially if you or your kids are autistic, sensitive, or easily overwhelmed. In this autistic‑led episode of The CrazyFitnessGuy® Show, host Jimmy Clare talks with family empowerment coach and “Raising Happy Toddlers” author Celia Kibler about simple, realistic ways to bring more calm into everyday family life.

Together, they unpack the idea behind the International Day of Calm and why choosing calm on purpose can completely change how your family handles conflict, meltdowns, and stressful moments. Celia shares low‑pressure relaxation tools, mindset shifts, and scripts parents and caregivers can start using right away—even if they feel like they have already tried everything.

This conversation is especially helpful for parents raising autistic or neurodivergent kids, or for adults who grew up in chaotic homes and want to break that cycle. Jimmy and Celia keep things practical, judgment‑free, and focused on small changes that add up over time.

In this episode, you will learn:

• What the International Day of Calm is and why it was created

• What actually happens on the Day of Calm and how families can join in

• Why staying calm is so important for kids’ brains, nervous systems, and behavior

• Simple relaxation and regulation strategies you can practice as a family
