About this listen
Have you ever said, “That’s it, no iPad for the rest of the day!” or offered a bribe just to get through the grocery store? You’re not alone. In this episode of Sprout & Bloom, Alycia unpacks the difference between punishment and discipline and why understanding this shift can transform how we parent.
You’ll learn:
- 🌱 Why punishments like taking things away or bribing kids might stop behavior in the moment but don’t teach long-term skills
- 💛 What discipline really means and how it helps children learn emotional regulation
- ✨ A practical script you can use to set boundaries without fear, shame, or guilt
Parenting doesn’t have to be a cycle of threats, bribes, or guilt. With connection and consistency, we can guide our children in ways that teach skills, strengthen relationships, and nurture resilience.
