Strategies in Discipline from Toddlers to Teens - Pt 2 of Diagramming a Difficulty, Ep 223

Consequences, Discipline, Rules, Boundaries, Standards, Principles - what are all these key words in parenting?
 
I'm feeling like I should walk on eggshells over here because we are looking at a touchy subject - discipline. Should we ever discipline a child? What does that mean? How should it look? When is it okay?

Episode 223 will bring clarity to the complicated role that consequences play in the life of a child or teen.

We're going to jump into the issue of consequences and discipline so buckle up!

Please remember, while sometimes I do a series where it doesn't matter if you listen to the episode in order or not, this is not one of those series.  For diagramming a difficulty or dealing with a struggle in your child or teen, it is important to listen to Part 1 first.

This is Part 2. So if you haven't listened to Part 1, please stop here and go back there first. Here's why. In today's episode, we're talking about consequences and discipline. Consequences come second, not first when we're parenting, when we're dealing with a major difficulty with our child especially.

What comes BEFORE consequences?
What's gumption got to do with discipline in parenting?
We're also going to talk about our big parent mouth and how to keep it under control!
