  • 275. Solo ep - Discipline without losing your mind, how are we doing it?

    08:43||Season 10, Ep. 275
    This week’s solo episode is all about how I (try to) discipline my kids.Ā I reflect on whether yelling is worth my energy or time and does it have the impact I was hoping for.Ā Whether reward systems actually work and how I’m using them to instil positive habits.Ā Why mapping out the day and key activities ahead of time has been a game-changer.Ā Whether bribery is a necessary evil, why empty threats are so easy to give and so much more.Ā If you’re keen to get your kids to do what you want them to do – or try to – this Ā one is for you.Ā InstagramFollow Parenthood on Instagram @parenthoodpodĀ ShareWe’d love it if you could share this episode with a friend!Ā Parenthood Podcast acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of theland on which we work and live, and recognise their continuingconnection toland, water and community.

    This week’s solo episode is all about my anxiety around meal time.
