Sometimes you have to think outside the box when disciplining your children. There are lots of different approaches to discipline, so the question we are asking our guests today is whether or not there is a “right way” to discipline kids. Larry and Susan Pons share their parenting wisdom and help us understand why creative discipline methods can make a lasting impact.
