My name is Caley Kukla and I’ve spent more than a decade supporting children and families with challenging behaviors. As a mom of two, I appreciate how overwhelming and exhausting parenthood can often be. So I’m taking all of my professional knowledge and experience and combining it with real life, not just theory, to change the dialogue around parenting. We’ll have powerful conversations and practical tools that will inspire you to get to the heart, or the COR of your child’s behavior and make simple yet impactful changes.

Whether your child has a neurodivergent diagnosis or you're helping them better understand a sibling, friend, or classmate, these conversations matter.

In this episode, Caley sits down with Dr. Kim Rivieccio, who specializes in supporting autistic individual’s mental health, to explore how parents can approach conversations about neurodiversity with honesty, compassion, and confidence. They discuss why talking about autism and ADHD doesn't need to be one big conversation, but many “micro conversations”, how to help children understand their strengths and challenges without shame, and why the language we use can shape how children see themselves and others.

You'll walk away with practical ways to start these conversations early, support your child's developing self-awareness, and build empathy and understanding for the many different ways our brains work.

In this episode, Caley explores why this common reminder often misses the mark, especially when navigating sibling conflict. From hitting and grabbing to those seemingly out-of-nowhere sibling attacks, she shares practical ways to shift from simply managing behavior to coaching the skills children need to communicate their feelings, advocate for themselves, and navigate conflict.

Because the goal isn’t just to stop the hitting, it’s to build the skills that make hitting less necessary.

In this episode, Caley sits down with child psychologist Dr. Tori Cordiano to unpack what impulse control really is, why it's still developing in early childhood, and how we can help children build the skills they'll need to become kind, thoughtful, and responsible adults.

Together, they explore the development of executive functioning and share practical, everyday strategies to strengthen impulse control through the moments that challenge us most.

Because the goal isn't to expect adult-level self-control from young children. It's to help them build the skills to get there.

But fear isn't exclusive to Spooky Season! From trying a new activity or entering an unfamiliar environment to navigating social situations or riding a roller coaster, childhood is full of experiences that can feel scary!

As parents, our instinct is often to reassure our children with a quick, “It’s not scary!” But here's the thing... what if it really does feel scary to them?

In this episode of COR Parenting Conversations, Caley explores why fear is a natural and important feeling, especially for young children with big imaginations, and how we can help them navigate scary experiences without dismissing their feelings or intensifying their fears.

From offering choices and modeling confidence to bringing a little playfulness into the moment, Caley shares practical ways to help children feel safe, build confidence, and better understand their own limits.

Because the goal isn't to raise children who are never afraid. It's to help them trust themselves and feel confident navigating fear.

Our children have needs. Our bodies have needs. Work, relationships, schedules, meals, appointments, and everyday life all compete for our attention. And then there’s the stuff.

In this episode, Caley sits down with decluttering expert Katy Wells to explore how our physical environment can impact our internal state, including how present, regulated, and reactive we feel.

This isn’t about creating a picture-perfect home or adding another overwhelming project to your list. Katy shares simple ways to turn down the environmental “noise” through small, sustainable changes you can make in the micro moments of everyday life.

Because sometimes creating a little more space around us can help us find a little more space within us, too.

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the past three years of our family’s medical journey following the birth of our third son and share the simple parenting practice that became a lifeline as I watched him fight to survive in the NICU. It helped me practice self compassion, care for my own mental health, and continue showing up for my children even when I felt like I was falling apart.
