It's Not the Discipline That Makes Kids Good (It's This Instead)

Learn more at https://bratbusters.com In this episode, Lisa discusses what she believes creates good behaviour from kids. She covers topics including why parents focus on discipline, parents blaming kids for their bad behaviour, why Lisa created the BratBusters Behaviour Board, the importance of connection, and why she believes in teaching your kids it’s okay to fail. Lastly, Lisa addresses seven listener questions, covering how much playtime is appropriate with kids, whether to discipline children at other people's houses, a 5-year-old who is well-behaved at school but defiant at home, a 3-year-old acting out at school, what to do when you can't impose a consequence in the moment, a 5-year-old hitting and saying not-nice things to their parent, and strategies for making kids feel good about themselves.
