Monica Hinderer joins Doug to dissect the differences between disciplining and punishing children. They share that when we punish children, the children often shut down, but when we discipline, we show them the adults we want them to become.
Listener questions and comments:
- Mary - What should I do instead of counting to three or spanking a toddler when they don't understand? (17:44)
- Jean - When my children were teenagers and they would use ugly language, I would have them write lines. It really helped. What do you think? (26:55)
- John - Do you have suggestions for disciplining our 17-year-old adopted daughter? (28:54)
- Marcela - How do you discipline a 10-year-old when they give you dirty looks all the time? I am the grandma, and the child lives with me. (46:35)
