Boys Need Consequences, Not Lectures - Therapist Explains
Boys don't learn unless there's physical discipline and consequences - not long lectures or verbal reasoning.
As a therapist, I break down why many boys process lessons more effectively through movement, structure, and embodied consequences.
In this video, I explain how calm, action-based discipline supports emotional regulation, builds respect, and strengthens connection when paired with warmth and relationship.
If you want to understand what actually works for developing confident and responsible young men, this will help clarify the science and the strategy.
