Reflective Parenting by Curious Neuron Does spanking really discipline a child? with Mr. Chazz
In today’s episode, we discuss how to see, guide and trust our child with Mr. Chazz, an educator, and parent coach. We begin our conversation by discussing spanking and how we could be more mindful of these generational cycles. We then get into a beautiful conversation about behavior and discipline. What does it mean to discipline? How should we discipline a child that is hitting? Our conversation moves to the parent and how we may have been taught to suppress our emotions, which then makes it harder to teach our children how to handle their own emotions. Sometimes, parents are not on the same page when it comes to parenting. Mr. Chazz discusses how we need to remove judgment in our conversation with our spouse when having these types of conversations. Lastly, what should you do if you do not agree with how you were raised and your parents want to babysit your child? Such an important conversation for all parents! I hope you enjoy today’s episode.
