Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 216

In this brief episode, which follows two very personal episodes, Dr. Shaw returns to her specialty as a parenting expert.  Here she discussed the simple scenario of having a child acting out because something didn't go their way.  What actually happened isn't as important as Dr. Shaw's tenet that it's okay to veer away from your usual parenting rules and boundaries AS LONG AS bad behavior is not seen as being rewarded.  Also, if bad behavior is temporarily not addressed for whatever social or environmental reasons, it must be addressed and reviewed at a later time.  Your child must know what they did incorrectly, why it was not appropriate behavior, and what the normal natural consequence for such behavior should be.  Children know and appreciate boundaries as well as needing them.
