Parents often feel skeptical that there are ways to engage a child’s cooperation without using punishments and adult-imposed consequences—or at least threatening those things! In this episode, Dr. Nanika Coor explains why parenting with punishment is unhelpful for influencing your child’s behaviors in the long term.

Project Parenthood is hosted by Dr. Nanika Coor. A transcript is available at Simplecast.
