38. Is there ever a good reason to yell at your kids?
from Balance your Brain · host James Christensen
James and Catherine discuss why yelling at kids is harmful, except in rare moments of immediate danger, and how parents teach far more through their example than through punishment or harshness. They explore autonomy, emotional regulation, and the long-term impact of parenting, arguing that kindness, respect, and steady growth create “emotional wealth” that can shape families for generations.Catherine Roebuck: https://catherineroebuck.comJames Christensen: https://jamesmchristensen.comSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2PC7NKPstyNi08TNfYcyaT Youtube: https://youtube.com/@jameslmft Instagram: instagram.com/jameslmft Tiktot: https://www.tiktok.com/@kindcourage
