Redefining Discipline: The Brain-Based Approach to Everyday Parenting Challenges-Part 2

Brain Based Parenting

Send us a text

Discipline doesn't have to mean punishment; the most effective approach focuses on understanding the root causes behind less significant behaviors and addressing them with connection rather than correction.
• Curiosity is essential in addressing less significant behaviors - take time to understand what's happening beneath the surface
• Physical needs like sleep, nutrition, and exercise directly impact behavior - address these before implementing discipline
• "Islands of competence" should be strengthened, not taken away as punishment
• Explicit instruction and "redos" help teach appropriate behavior rather than just punishing mistakes
• Timeouts work for some children while others need "time-ins" for co-regulation
• Proximity and engaged presence allow parents to redirect behaviors before they escalate
• Model self-regulation by taking breaks when you need to calm down
• Grounding should be reserved for significant behaviors and include clear paths to restoration
Join us next week as we discuss discipline and more serious behaviors.
