Episode 34: Why Punishment Doesn’t Lead to Results That Last (and What To Do Instead)

We know that we need to teach our kids how to act responsible and respectful. But how do we respond when they don’t do what they’re supposed to do? Most of us rely on “traditional” discipline strategies like yelling, nagging, or taking away things that they care about with the hope that that will motivate them to act better in the future. However, many parents find that these strategies don’t actually lead to long-term positive behavior. In this episode, you’ll learn the three reasons that punishment (and other external motivators) don’t tend to lead to the results we want… and what you can do instead.  Plus, receive a free downloadable resource that reviews the difference between “band aid parenting” and “long game parenting” and what you can do to shift from punishment to a strategy that works: http://rachel-bailey.com/34.
