In today's solo episode, we discuss discipline and parenting styles and compare this to prison in Cyprus. This prison changed from a punitive system to a person-centred approach which brought the re-offending rate from over 50% down to 15%.
I don't want to discuss whether or not this should be the method used in prisons, I am comparing this to our discussion about parenting and discipline.
I discuss the research around discipline, time outs, and parenting styles and give you 3 questions you can ask yourself this week to help you stay aligned with this research when you discipline your child.

Thank you to our supporter the Tanenbaum Open Science Institute at The Neuro. The Neuro is the first health sciences institution in the world to commit to Open Science, an approach to research that ensures scientific knowledge is shared widely and transparently.
