Child Development Specialist: When discipline begins, why punishment doesn’t work & clear vs. gentle parenting
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Siggie Cohen — Child Development & Parenting Specialist — to talk all things discipline.
The first thing we learned - discipline doesn’t ACTUALLY mean punishment (and definitely not spanking). Dr. Siggie walks us through what discipline REALLY is, when it should begin (earlier than you think), and how to respond with clarity (not frustration) when your toddler tests the limits.
We also get into how communication sets the tone for everything, a real-life example of disciplining a 5-year-old, and her thoughts on gentle parenting (+ how her approach differs).
Dr. Siggie leaves us with her biggest takeaways on raising disciplined, confident kids — and honestly, this one feels like a masterclass for anyone with toddlers or young kids!!!
LOVE YOU GUYS!
