About this episode
Episode 173 is a solo episode chatting about the differences between punishment, discipline and consequences. Parenting feels like an endless pursuit of finding the sweet spot between guiding, upholding, nurturing and preparing. It’s a mix of being a safety net and stepping aside to let a fall happen. This episode explores the importance of appropriate imposed consequences and the power of a natural consequence for cultivating an understanding of action and reaction. Encouraging children to learn accountability and responsibility is a massive gift for setting them up to succeed and live a fulfilling life.
