Is the constant power struggle leaving you drained? This week, Layne and Jess look at old-school methods of parenting that rely on fear and force to control children's behavior. We dive into how fear hinders internal motivation and discuss ways to foster cooperation. Jess shares her journey raising a strong-willed child, finding leadership without resorting to dominance. We discuss: The long-term effects of fear-based parenting on adults Why compliance shouldn't be our ultimate parenting goal How fear-based discipline impacts a child's decision-making skills How to maintain parental authority while fostering internal motivation And ya, we talk a little bit about spanking. Join us as we share personal struggles, insights, and practical tips for becoming the strong, compassionate leader your child needs.
