Have you ever wondered why traditional tactics like scolding, shaming, or punishment are ineffective in improving your child’s behaviour?
In this Episode, parenting coach Camilla McGill emphasises the importance of nurturing emotional intelligence and setting compassionate boundaries.
Camilla delves into how these punitive methods can harm self-esteem, create fear rather than respect, and weaken the parent-child connection.
Instead, she advocates for guiding children with empathy, understanding, and encouragement to foster intrinsic motivation and better behavioural outcomes.
The episode also offers practical advice on addressing children's behaviour, discussing the impact of their actions, and promoting positive practices like apologies and making amends.
Camilla emphasises that every step towards positive parenting makes a significant impact.
