Show Notes

Jess and Scott break down what research says about approaches like spanking, harsh verbal discipline, threats and bribes — and why authoritative parenting (balancing warmth with structure) leads to better outcomes.

This episode is perfect for parents who are curious about non-punitive strategies or who want to raise cooperative kids without relying on fear or control.
