Show Notes

Today I have a very special guest on the podcast, my mom Dr. Mona Delahooke! This is our first public collaboration and we tackle the controversial topic of spanking. We discuss why spanking doesn’t work and why fear-based discipline is an ineffective way to teach your children right from wrong. We discuss the latest and greatest parenting approaches that include the important work of Stephen Porges, Lisa Feldmen Barrett, and Tina Bryson. If this episode speaks to you, please share it with loved ones and help us spread awareness of healthy, supportive, and loving discipline!
