In this episode Parenting Expert Allison Rees discusses why Punishment doesn’t work for the parent or child and what we can do instead:

• What the cause of the child’s behavior may be
• Why punishment isn’t effective and what we can do instead
• How to deal with issues in the heat of the moment
• The boundaries we need to set for a healthy home environment
• Why following through with kids is so important

I had already done a podcast with Allison but felt we could cover more ground if we discussed a specific topic. I will be doing two more podcast with her in the coming months on nagging and dealing with a persistent child… stay tuned. I felt that this was a terrific podcast because of the depth of what got covered. I think because she has such great experience and knowledge she’s able clarifying the confusion of parenting in a simple way. I was surprised at the direction this interview went, I didn’t expect it, but it was awesome. I hope you find the content as rich as I did and that it makes for a more positive home environment and a healthier you and your children!
