What did discipline teach you growing up — and is that still the lesson you carry today?

In this deeply reflective episode of Dear Mom, Dear Daughter, we unpack the difference between discipline and punishment, and explore how many South African homes confused fear for respect. We open up about our own childhood experiences with discipline, how it shaped us, and how we’re reimagining parenting and boundaries in today’s world.

From the “go fetch the belt” culture to the quiet harm of emotional shutdowns, we ask:
How can parents lead with firmness and love?
How do you discipline without breaking connection?

This episode is for every parent, daughter, and cycle-breaker trying to figure out a better way. One where children feel safe, respected, and still guided.
