Rethinking Child Discipline: Alternatives to Yelling

Children have to know that there's a consequence. And so hitting, spanking, using some sort of physical punishment...we'll talk about is establishing the consequence, so that the child knows when they make the wrong choice, willingly, they're accepting what is coming and then they'll learn from that and move forward.
Ever found yourself raising your voice in frustration, only to feel guilty afterward? In this episode of 'The Better Mental Health Show', Dr. Christopher Fasano tackles the all-too-common issue of disciplining children through yelling. With insights drawn from the latest policy by the American Academy of Pediatrics, Dr. Fasano highlights the negative impacts that shouting can have on a child's mental and physical well-being. He doesn’t just leave it at that, though.
He offers practical and positive alternatives to traditional discipline methods that can foster better behavior and long-term mental health. From positive reinforcement to setting clear and realistic expectations, Dr. Fasano provides a roadmap for parents who want to teach responsibility and choice-making without resorting to harmful tactics. This episode is a must-listen for any parent or caregiver looking to cultivate a healthier and more understanding approach to discipline.
