98: The Internet Told This Mum to Punish Her 10-Year-Old's Behaviour (SO Much Wrong!!!)


Listen Later

(🎁 Scroll down for my gift!! 🎁)


When a mum shared online that she blew up at her 10-year-old daughter, who then jumped out of the car in a crowded carpark, the comments went WILD.


Everyone flooded in with BAD ADVICE.


“Take her devices!” “Be stricter!” “Punish her for being disrespectful!”


Are we still in the 80's? Seems so.


In this video, I break down why that advice is not only unhelpful — but actually incredibly harmful for kids who are already struggling.


And it doesn't help the parent at all either!


This isn’t just about disrespect or screen time… it’s about what’s going on beneath the behaviour.


I’ll walk you through:


🧠 Why punishment-based advice (aka behaviourism) NEVER works — especially with neurodivergent kids

🧠 What your child’s “bad behaviour” is really telling you

🧠 How you can stay calm and connected when your child pushes your buttons

🧠 What I would have said to this mum if we were sitting down together over coffee
