Why Smiley Faces, Sad Faces & Typical Discipline Methods Are Destructive And Make Behavior Worse #579

from Calm Parenting Podcast

Why do I hate the following: “You’re not a bad kid. You just made bad choices?” The final example of how a child applied our discipline tools (in a cheeky way!) is worth the listen! **Stop the yelling, power struggles, and daily chaos—get 50% off the Calm Parenting Bundle this Spring. https://celebratecalm.com/products/COZY EARTHHead to https://cozyearth.com  and use my code CALM for up to 20% off.CURE HYDRATIONCure is offering our listeners 20% off your first order!
