When your child is acting out or misbehaving, what is the right response? Dr. Roger Smith clarifies that while children need discipline, it's about much more than just punishment—it's mostly about training. This episode offers essential wisdom on how to respond to misbehavior:

Prioritize the Goal: Your motive should always be to help your child grow, not stop them from embarrassing you.

Time It Right: When a child's emotion is high, their listening is low. Learn when to remove a child from a situation to help them regain control before initiating training.

Stay United: Always make sure your child knows that you are on their team, even when correcting their mistakes.

Discover how to use judgment, emotional control, and the right timing to transform misbehavior into an opportunity for growth.
