Every parent hopes their child grows into a kind, confident, and resilient individual, but how we guide our children through discipline can make all the difference. This week on Raising Parents: The Parenting Science Insights Podcast, host Dina Sargeant interviews psychology professor Michael Karson to learn what it takes to enforce positive discipline as a parent.
Before taking a 20-year hiatus to pursue a career in academia as a tenured university professor, Michael Karson practiced clinical and forensic psychology for 25 years. Impressively, Michael Karson has consulted on thousands of cases of verified or suspected child maltreatment. To top it off, he is the author behind six books, including ‘Patterns of Child Abuse: How Dysfunctional Transactions Are Replicated in Individuals, Families, and the Child Welfare System’.
In this episode, Michael Karson delves into what positive discipline is and how it differs from traditional disciplinary methods. Additionally, Michael Karson sheds light on the long-term benefits of positive discipline, and offers advice for balancing rules with autonomy with children.
Together, Dina and Michael Karson look at an array of practical and effective positive discipline techniques, and address common struggles parents might face when implementing positive discipline. So, whether you’re a new parent navigating the toddler years, or facing tough moments with older kids, tune in to this episode for actionable advice that works!
