In this episode of MomDoc Talk, Kristen, a pediatrician and mom, explores the crucial difference between punishment and discipline in parenting. She explains why punishment is reactive and shame-based, while discipline is intentional, focused on teaching, and helps children develop self-control and responsibility. Kristen offers practical strategies, including natural and logical consequences, and shares real-life examples. She emphasizes the importance of compassion, consistency, and connection in guiding children’s behavior, referencing her book, Parenting Redefined, as a resource for parents seeking to nurture positive growth in their children.
