Episode notes
Discipline vs Punishment
- Discipline originally means to teach and build skills, not punishment.
- Punishment creates fear and emotional distress, which hinders learning.
Why Punishment Fails
- Punishment rarely achieves its intent and often causes resentment and blame shifting.
- Effective discipline occurs when children are regulated and receptive to learning.
Using Consequences Effectively
- Use logical consequences that are reasonable, related, and proportional.
- Natural consequences are best when they don't cause harm or extreme distress.
