The Baffling Behavior Show {Parenting after Trauma}
Formerly the Parenting after Trauma podcast, internationally recognized children's mental health expert Robyn Gobbel decodes the most baffling behaviors for parents of kids with vulnerable nervous systems. If you're parenting a child who has experienced trauma or toxic stress or a child with a neuroimmune disorder, sensory processing, or other nervous system vulnerability, this show will let you know you are not alone. You can stop playing behavior whack-a-mole because Robyn offers you tools that actually work.
You can become your child's expert, feel more confident as a parent, and bring more connection and clarity into your family.
Educators, therapists, coaches and consultants- you too can learn all about what behavior really is and become more effective at helping the families you support. You can love your work again!

Ep. 206: Punishment Free Parenting with Jon Fogel
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Jon Fogel is a dad who combined his passion for parenting, neuroscience, and impacting the world to create a viral social media account (@wholeparent) and then to publish his book, Punishment-Free Parenting.
Jon and I get lost in some pretty deep topics together, including
- How he helps parents make huge parenting shifts
- How parenting with punishment relies on a pretty pessimistic view of humanity
- Boundaries vs. Consequences vs. Punishments
