On Aug. 28th I had the pleasure of talking with George Reiter on KPFT, the Pacifica station in Huston. George covers progressive and environmental issues on his show, Thresholds, and is interested in talking about discipline and raising children with respect. You can hear my interview about yelling less below.
Dr. Intisar Shareef also joined George Reiter on Sept. 11th to discuss discipline and the consequences of using harsh physical punishment with children. It was a terrific conversation about her own experience raising foster children, and about the work she does teaching parents, children, and childcare providers.
Linda O’Connor and I discussed how easy it is to yell at kids and what we can do to reduce our reactivity and increase awareness and respectful responses.
Take a listen, and let me know how you reduce your stress and yell less.
Thanks to my friend Janis Keyser, it was a lovely day meeting many parents at Google, and also getting to see one of the their terrific Childcare Centers.
The main thing I would add to this hour long video is a more developed response to a parents question about whining, I would add that we not only need techniques to help our children break the habit, but sometimes we really need to understand what they are asking for. Sometimes a child will whine when they don’t think they can get a parents attention any other way. And sometimes it’s their inner frustration and stress that comes out in the form of annoying behaviors. There are ways to respond instead of yelling as I mention in the video, and it’s always good to step back and think about your child’s experience.
