Do you often
find yourself having to "step in" to control your child's behavior?
In today's episode, I'm going to try to change your thinking about
discipline. The goal of discipline is "self-regulation" on the part
of the child. Otherwise, some children "keep pushing" until someone
regulates for them. Wouldn't it be better if your child learned to
self-regulate, instead of you having to regulate for them? This has
dramatic implications into adulthood also. Finally, I talk about
patience in parenting. We have to give time for the child to
self-control, but we often don't give the child enough time. So I
give you some advice on that as well.
