Emotionally Intelligent Parenting with Stephanie Pinto

85: The Discipline Lie: Why Everything We Were Taught Was Wrong PLUS It Doesn't Work on Kids Anyway.


Listen Later

Ever been told that "kids just need some good ol' fashioned discipline" to learn their lesson?


Yeah... let’s talk about why that advice needs to go straight to the recycling bin.


I'm pulling back the curtain on the real difference between discipline and punishment — and why confusing the two can seriously mess with your child's emotional growth (and your relationship with them).


Spoiler: Discipline isn’t about being "soft." It’s about being SMART.


You’ll learn:


✨ Why discipline teaches and punishment backfires


✨ How discipline builds future behaviour, while punishment keeps kids stuck in shame


✨ Why connection and guidance will always beat blame and fear


✨ How real discipline actually boosts emotional intelligence (and no, yelling doesn’t count)


👉 Ever wondered why your punishments aren’t "working" — no matter how many times you threaten, lecture, or take away the iPad?


👉 Curious why some kids grow into sneaky, secretive teens — and how it has everything to do with how we handle mistakes when they’re little?


If you’re serious about raising emotionally resilient kids, trust me — the next 25 minutes are going to be a total game-changer.


Let’s change the way we parent — one empowered conversation at a time. 🎙️
