This week, as we continue our dive into summer, we wanted to talk about a chapter that comes straight out of our book How To Raise Perfectly Imperfect Kids And Be Ok With It and have an honest conversation about the difference between consequences and punishments and why parents need to know the difference. Since we’re at the start of summer and kids are out and about with freer schedules and less supervision and (in many cases) more freedom it might be useful for our listeners with young kids to commiserate and learn a few things since kids are having more interaction with their friends and peers than they’ve had in a really long time, which can lead to some not-so-great decisions, which can mean consequences for their actions. Because, as parents, we need to be ready to differentiate between an appropriate consequence and a punishment since there is a difference. So have a listen as we discuss how every kid loves to push the limits and your buttons and what to do with it.
LIFE UNfiltered is something new. Something different. Something real and raw and relatable. It’s a talk show that celebrates the messy, perfectly imperfect parts of life. Every Sunday from 11:30AM until noon, show hosts author & syndicated columnist Lisa Sugarman and licensed psychotherapist Debra Gansenberg, MSW, LICSW talk about the everyday issues that are affecting them as moms, wives, working professionals, and friends. Gansenberg, the mom of three boys, and Sugarman, the mom of two daughters, take the theme from their latest book “How To Raise Perfectly Imperfect Kids And Be Ok With It,” and apply it to every aspect of life from raising kids and marriage to work and self-care and everything in between. They talk, unfiltered, about all the stuff that’s keeping you up at night. And here’s the thing… they actually give you permission to make mistakes and drop some balls. And be ok with it.
Each week, Lisa and Debra focus on topics that affect all of us and have open, honest conversations about the good, the bad, the ugly, and all the moving parts that make up our day-to-day lives.
They incorporate a mix of clinical advice, stories, tips, proven strategies from the trenches AND the therapy couch, and a bunch of laughs, to help you find the magic within life’s screwups.
