About this listen
Are traditional discipline methods setting children up for failure? In this episode, hosts Nicole Coman and Biff Maier challenge the outdated, top-down approach to rules and discipline, revealing how Montessori principles cultivate true self-regulation, accountability, and independence—without authoritarian control.
They explore:
- Why rules often backfire and what works instead
- The power of natural consequences over punishments
- How to build a culture of respect where kids take responsibility
- Montessori’s radical approach to discipline that prepares children for life
- Practical strategies for parents and teachers to shift from control to collaboration
If you’ve ever wondered why traditional discipline methods feel frustrating and ineffective, this episode will change the way you think about rules forever.
