We often think that the only way to get our kids to listen is to use threats, bribes or punishments. Those actually decrease natural obedience over time. There is another way to do it, tune in to find out how. Yelling, threats and bribes really do seem to work in a pinch- kids typically respond and listen. Over time though, you may have noticed that you have to up the ante: yell more, bribe more, bigger threats. You may also feel a nagging feeling that this isn’t helping your relationship with your kids, that there is a better way, but you’re just not sure how. This episode gets into all of that.

In this episode:

• What discipline really means
• Why rewards and punishments do more harm than good
• How to get our kids to listen naturally, through connection
