Episode #233: The Type of Discipline Kids Want and Need

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My guest this week is Sarah Moore.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, Sarah and I discuss discipline and kids. Now the word discipline can bring up all kinds of thoughts and feelings for parents, often based on our own childhood experiences, beliefs, or things we’ve read about kids and parenting. The reality is, that all kids need discipline. It’s important to understand that discipline really means teaching and guiding, not punishment, spanking, etc., which we often associate with the word. So to help us think about discipline in a developmentally supportive, appropriate, helpful way, I’ve invited expert Sarah Moore back on the show to share about her new book and more of her wisdom around conscious parenting; to help shift our approach and mindset around discipline so that we able to practice it in ways that are healthier for us, our relationships, and our kids’ development.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sarah Moore is the founder of Dandelion Seeds Positive Parenting, and the author of</span> <a href="https://amzn.to/3UtahEA" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Peaceful Discipline, Story Teaching, Brain Science and Better Behavior.</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">She's a public speaker, armchair neuroscientist, and most importantly, a mama.
