Why discipline a child whose misbehavior isn't their fault? When I get this kind of question, I know that a parent thinks of discipline as punishment, and changing that mindset can be a revelation for most parents. Most of us were raised to think of the world in terms of blame, fault, guilt, crime, punishment, etc. But great parenting transcends this kind of reductive approach.
In this week's episode of Confessions of a Parenting Coach, I talk about this default thinking and the reasons why, YES, our kids do still need consequences for their actions, regardless of who is to blame for them. This mindset shift is crucial for us to be able to parent non-punitively and through the lens of strong, healthy relationships.
