Discipline: Punishment vs Teaching (feat. Dr Tina Bryson @tinapaynebryson)

On EPISODE 65 of The Therapy4Dads Podcast, Dad, husband, and therapist Travis invites Dr. Tina Payne Bryson (@tinapaynebryson) to share important insights on disciplining children. Dr. Bryson is an author and licensed clinical social worker, and she is the founder and executive director of the Center for Connection in Southern California, a parenting educator, and clinician worldwide. Travis and Dr. Bryson discuss various key points, such as how children need appropriate demands and how natural consequences can be helpful. They also touch on the importance of structure, expectations, limits, and boundaries, as well as connection, validation, empathy, and emotional responsiveness. Dr. Bryson explains that discipline should be viewed as teaching instead of punishment, with the goal of helping children become self-disciplined individuals. Finally, she shares an inspiring story from a father who used her techniques of empathizing with his child to down-regulate their nervous system during a tantrum.SUPPORT THE SHOW:CLICK HERE: BuyMeACoffee/Therapy4DadsJOIN the MAILING LIST & GET INVOLVED!CLICK HERE: MAILING LISTSupport and follow TINA:IG: @tinapaynebrysonWEB: https://www.tinabryson.com/BOOK: The Whole-Brain ChildBOOK: No-Drama DisciplineBOOK: The Power of Showing UpConnect and Support Travis:YouTube: Travis GoodmanInstagram: @Therapy4DadsCheck out the Website: Therapy4Dads.com
