“Too often we forget that discipline really means to teach, not to punish. A disciple is a student, not a recipient of behavioural consequences.”  ― Daniel J. Siegel

 

In this episode, Dr. Siegel and I talk about:

• How to show up consistently for your child
• Why it's important to be a constant in your child's life
• How to empower your children with your example
