No yelling. No punishment. No therapy-speak. IN THIS EPISODE: • Why your brain can't tell a tantrum from a lion attack • The trigger audit: shame, judgment, or loss of control? • Discipline vs. punishment — and why most parents invert it • "Teaching someone to swim while they're drowning" — the correction trap • The post-meltdown repair script that keeps your authority intact • Why the rowdy kid is actually the critical thinker you want The threats are real.
