Episode Synopsis

Do you often find yourself giving instructions filled with "don't" and "no"? Dr. Roger Smith challenges parents to adopt a positive communication style. This episode teaches you how to stop barking orders and start framing instructions in terms of the desired behavior. Instead of saying "Don't forget your lunch," learn to say "Remember your lunch." Discover this subtle but powerful shift that assumes competence, focuses on freedom, and fosters a more positive, effective way of giving directions to your children—and everyone else.
