About this listen
A viral video of a mother whipping her child 22 times has sparked intense debate about where the line between discipline and abuse truly lies. In this episode, we tackle this uncomfortable topic, examining what separates discipline from abuse. We get a little deeper and share our own experiences with questionable discipline from our fathers, moments that left lasting impacts, and how we process those childhood experiences now as adults and parents ourselves. We discuss the intergenerational patterns of punishment, the difference between discipline rooted in love versus control, and how we've chosen to parent our own children differently. This is an honest conversation about breaking cycles, understanding trauma, and finding better ways to guide the next generation without repeating the mistakes of the past.
