Challenging Conventional Parenting Wisdom
Ever wondered if punishing your child for bad behavior might actually be counterproductive? Picture this: your child hits their sibling. Instead of a timeout, what if you offered a hug and some empathy? How might that change the dynamic?
I want to challenge some deeply rooted beliefs in traditional parenting that may benefit from a new perspective, such as the notion that punishment is essential for teaching right from wrong. I believe our children naturally desire to do well and that their behaviors often indicate a need for connection rather than defiance. By understanding the underlying needs that drive your child\u2019s actions, you can foster a stronger bond and guide them with empathy and respect.
