Over the last few episodes, Lauren has discussed how other cultures teach cooperation, helpfulness, motivation, and emotional control. This is the first episode in a three part series on how other cultures handle children's misbehavior. 

She discusses six different ways to correct misbehavior

1. A strong “No” or “The Look.” 
2. Consequence puzzles
3. Questions
4. Responsibility
5. Actions and not words
6. Ignoring

The goal is to teach children to use their executive functioning and learn why the misbehavior is not beneficial to them or your family, not to punish.

Lauren answers this week’s listener question during the episode: How do I get my kid to listen?
