Episode notes
Historically, children actively participated in household chores, learning their role within the family unit. However, modern parenting often leans towards forceful methods, using allowances and punishments to manage behavior. Instead of demanding compliance, effective parenting should focus on encouragement. Encouraging children involves using thoughtful questioning to promote self-reflection and responsibility. By prompting children to think critically about their actions rather than issuing commands or warnings, parents can foster a more engaging and cooperative atmosphere. Tools such as 'triggering thought' can empower kids to discover the consequences of their actions independently.
