Disciplining Toddlers: Are We Getting This Right? with Dr. Ann-Louise Lockhart

When it comes to disciplining toddlers, are we being too tough or not tough enough?  Carol talks with pediatric psychologist and parenting expert Dr. Ann-Louise Lockhart about how to manage the challenges of raising our curious, energetic,  1-3 year olds.  Dr. Lockhart shares valuable insights and strategies for handling tantrums–a normal part of toddler development–as well as setting boundaries and fostering emotional growth in children. She breaks down currently popular parenting approaches—like “gentle” and “conscious” parenting—and shares her thoughts on which approach leads to the best outcomes.  In this conversation filled with helpful advice, Dr. Lockhart talks with Carol about why “tough love” doesn’t build a resilient child, why conversations around discipline may be more challenging for parents raising Black children, and so much more.
