Toddlers Made Easy with Dr Cathryn

Why Punishments Don't Work — And What To Do Instead!


Listen Later

Tired of time-outs and tantrums? In this episode, I’ll share why punishment doesn’t work and what to do instead so that you can handle tricky moments with calm and confidence.

  • Why Punishment Fails: It stops behavior in the moment but hurts self-esteem and creates fear.
  • What Toddlers Need: They’re not being “bad”—they’re still learning to manage big feelings and impulses.
  • The E.A.S.Y. Approach: A simple, big-hearted way to teach better behavior without punishment.
