Unlock your parenting potential! Start here: https://drlindsayemmerson.com/workshop
In this episode, I tackle that critical moment when your child tests boundaries and consequences hang in the balance. Your next move - whether to follow through, back down, or ignore what happened - fundamentally shapes your parent-child relationship. I'll reveal the most common mistake parents make with consequences and how to avoid it completely. While setting boundaries is essential for raising well-adjusted children, many parents feel uncomfortable using consequences with their kids. The good news? When done correctly, consequences become a supportive teaching tool that transforms discipline into an opportunity for growth - the hallmark of truly amazing parenting.
New to my podcast? If you want to take the stress, frustration, and overwhelm out of parenting by learning how to promote better behavior in your child, you're in the right place.
I'm a clinical psychologist and Mom of 4, and I share the psychology-based strategies that I use to parent with intention and confidence.
I help parents move from feeling exhausted and at wit's end, losing their cool, yelling, and wishing parenting was easier, to feeling calm and confident, effectively managing any challenging parenting situation, and actually enjoying time spent with their kids.
The practical positive discipline tools I teach based on my 5 C's parenting framework can get you there.
