Clock in with us this week for an engaging episode as we welcome Samantha (@Samanthathetherapist), a renowned family therapist. Together, we delve into the realm of effective child discipline techniques, emphasizing alternatives to physical punishment. We explore the power of apologizing to our children and the value of transparent communication, where we openly explain the reasons behind our actions. Additionally, we tackle the complex question of whether it's appropriate to share our own upbringing and past traumas with our children. Furthermore, we address the sensitive topic of mental health, discussing when it is appropriate for a partner to disclose their bipolar disorder or any other mental health issues in a relationship. As we wrap up, we also take the time to respond to thought-provoking listener letters. Prepare for an enlightening and diverse discussion!
