What Kind of Discipline Is Best? Balancing Training, Correction, and Restoration | Episode 504
from Parenting Matters Now with Dr. Roger Smith · host Dr. Roger Smith
Is discipline just another word for punishment? Dr. Roger Smith argues that true discipline is 90% coaching and only 10% correction. In this candid episode, he addresses the "touchy" topic of punishment, emphasizing that while pain can be a powerful instructor, it should never be used as retaliation or rejection. Learn why intervening early requires less force, why your emotional control is more important than your technique, and how to ensure your child knows you are on their side—even in moments of correction. Discover how to move toward a goal of self-control and relationship restoration rather than mere retribution. Visit me at: https://rogersmithmd.com/ This has been a production of ThePodcastUpload.com
