Welcome back to The 👋🏾Hey, Good Dads Podcast! In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most controversial topics in parenting: DISCIPLINE. Host Gerald 'Mr. BPOZ' Mayes shares an archived conversation from the Yes, We Fight Podcast, where he, his wife Juliamarie, and their two youngest kids discuss their thoughts and experiences on corporal punishment.

Gerald opens up about his decision to stop using physical punishment on his children, reflecting on how growing up in an environment where discipline meant "whoopings" impacted him—and why he chose a different path for his kids.

We explore the cultural and religious pressures surrounding this issue, particularly within Black and Hispanic communities, and why creating an emotionally safe environment is crucial for fostering trust and communication with your children.

Key topics in this episode:

  • Why Gerald stopped using physical punishment on his kids
  • How discipline rooted in fear can damage relationships
  • The influence of cultural and religious beliefs on parenting styles
  • How to create a safe, supportive environment for your kids to learn from their mistakes
  • If you’ve ever questioned the best way to discipline your kids, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on parenting that prioritizes love, communication, and emotional safety over fear.
