ODD, Meltdowns & Missing Life Skills: Why Punishment Isn’t Working

What if your child’s defiant behavior is not the cause of the problem… but the effect?   In this episode, Bonnie and Thomas Liotta reveal why so many parents of strong-willed, explosive, ODD, ADHD, or defiant children stay stuck in a cycle of correction, punishment, consequences, and emotional exhaustion.   Most parenting advice teaches parents what to do after the meltdown happens. But Bonnie and Thomas show parents how to look before the behavior — where the missing life skill, unmet training, or unclear expectation may actually be hiding.   You’ll hear the powerful story of Brandon, a boy whose behavior changed when Thomas discovered the real reason behind his acting out. You’ll also learn why guiding behavior is not the same as letting children “get away with everything,” and how biblical parenting was always meant to guide, teach, and train — not punish from frustration.   If you’ve tried everything and nothing is bringing peace into your home, this episode will help you see your child, and your role as a parent, in a whole new way.   Learn more here:   https://thepathtoparentingparadise.com/
