In this episode, I talk about a simple way to correct your child without overreacting or letting things slide. I explain how small, consistent verbal reminders act like course corrections, helping children adjust their behaviour before it becomes a habit. This matters because what we allow becomes normal in our homes, and small choices shape long-term character in our child's life.

In This Episode

• Why behaviours that seem to appear "suddenly" have usually developed gradually

• How what we accept becomes our child's norm

• The difference between correction and punishment

• The idea of correction as a course correction, not a big reaction

• How children learn something from every response we give

• Practical examples of simple verbal reminders
