#150 Unconditional Parenting with Alfie Kohn

Topics discussed in this episode:

• When children are constantly praised for doing 'the right thing', they start to feel as though they're only lovable when they behave
• If kids feel like there are strings attached to their parents love, it gets in the way of healthy development
• Dr Justin shares a wonderful moment with one of his daughters
• Care that has to be earned isn't worthy of being called care
• If there's unconditional love present, praise is unnecessary. And if unconditional love is not present, praise is certainly not going to help
