52. Consequences vs. Boundaries - How to teach appropriate behavior without punishments
Description
I have said many times that threats, bribes, consequences and punishments don’t work very well. And I get A LOT of feedback (nice way to say nasty comments 😉) in my feed about how these are necessary to teach our kids how to be “real world ready.” And how else are they going to learn how to act appropriately if they don’t have punishments when they act out of turn?
This episode addresses just that!
I share in this episode how I’ve been able to remove threats, bribes, punishments and imposed consequences AND how I’ve been able to teach the lessons, instill the values and teach my kids how to act appropriately without all of that!
I share my system of value based boundaries and how our “bubble” gets bigger and smaller based on their abilities to live inside these values.
It’s a shame-free framework that works so well and I’m excited to share this with you!
