What If Everything You Know About Discipline Is Wrong?

Silicon Valley Parenting, with Sarah Lai Stirland

In her new book "The Good News About Bad Behavior," author and journalist Katherine Reynolds Lewis argues that we need to be better investigators and communicators within our own families in order to understand how to prevent conflicts. Among other things, we discuss the essential elements of connecting with your kids in a healthy way, why building consensus-driven routines and rules is important, social media use (and overuse) -- and why you should consider apologizing to your kids for bossing them around (yes, really!) If you're tired of confrontations and power struggles with your toddler or teen, you need to tune in to this podcast and/or to explore Katherine's book: https://amzn.to/2tz0GlH PEP and the parenting classes Katherine took, and then also taught, are online here: http://pepparent.org/ More information about the other book/study I mention about life and the economic anxieties associated with it in Silicon Valley is here: http://www.mariannecooper.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sarah-lai-stirland/support
