Positive Parenting Pep Talks

In this Positive Parenting Pep Talk, I begin by providing why GEMS and Taking care of yourself are two of the most important concepts in Positive Parenting.

We then transition to a mom's question about what to do when you want to spank your kids. You will benefit and gain insight through this discussion with a mom about why spanking for siblings hitting each other is so ineffective and what to do instead. How could you get excited about helping your kids resolved their conflicts and stop fighting? This episode is longer than usual and it's worthwhile to listen to the end.
