Discipline With Dignity
May 18, 2021“Think of the discipline again as a word that is meant to be about leadership. It requires us as parents to take responsibility for our children and be able to identify what's not working so that we can address it.”
On this episode of the 3D Parent Podcast, we will be diving into disciplining your children with dignity. We will be reviewing the older, more popular ways to discipline your child, discuss why they are hindering your connection with your child, and how to improve your discipline tactics.
So what does discipline with dignity mean? It means disciplining your children through your connection and creating a safe environment for them to work through their emotions when they are met with boundaries or decisions they don’t like.
Just keep in mind, this won’t always be easy, but be firm in your boundaries and always work to maintain that connection with your child.

Quotes From Episode 39
“Your most powerful tool in discipline is your connection, your attachment with your child.”
“So why [are time outs] so damaging, these time types of separation based methods? They're using the child's greatest need, which again is their need for attachment and connection with their primary caregivers, it's using that greatest need against the child and it's playing into their greatest fear of all, which is separation.”
“The first thing I want to encourage you to do is to make a major paradigm shift in the way you see your child when they're acting out, when we see a misbehaving child. I want you to look at this child very differently than you did before. Stop looking at this child as manipulating, as trying to push your buttons instead. See them as frustrated, struggling, hurting, because that's what they are.”
