Spanking, Timeouts, And Taking Things Away: When Is Punishment Ok?


Listen Later

Is there ever a time when it’s ok to punish your kids?! 

Scott gets curious with Jess in this important episode on punishment.

Scott and Jess unpack different forms of punishment, such as spanking, timeouts, and taking things away, and discuss the research on how these impact a child's behaviour and emotional development.


Jess explains the research behind these common forms of punishment and how you can effectively discipline instead.

Throughout the conversation, Jess and Scott share personal examples from raising their own kids and discuss how to discipline in a way that teaches valuable life skills.


Listeners will gain insights into child brain development, the power of the parent-child connection, and a framework for using respectful, reasonable consequences that help kids learn.

This episode is a must-listen for any parent!
