Discipline is an essential part of raising happy and successful kids, but as more and more parents are discovering, conventional approaches often don’t work, and can even lead to more frustration, resentment, power struggles, and shame. Enter Sarah Ockwell-Smith, a popular parenting expert who believes there’s a better way. Citing the latest research in child development, psychology, and neuroscience, Ockwell-Smith debunks common myths about punishments, rewards, the ‘naughty chair’, and more, and presents practical, connection-based techniques that really work, and that bring parents and kids closer together instead of driving them apart. Topics include: Setting, and enforcing, boundaries and limits with compassion and respect; Focusing on connection and positivity instead of negative consequences; Working with teachers and other caregivers; and Breaking the cycle of shaming and blaming.
