Listen "Discipline vs. Punishment"
Episode Synopsis
We’re talking for the next 10 minutes about the difference between discipline and punishment, and how the words are often used interchangeably but are quite different.
To review, punishment seeks to control a person’s behavior by fear or retribution, or by inflicting pain to motivate change. Discipline, however, seeks to tie the unwanted behavior to a natural or logical consequence for that behavior. Discipline does not connect a child’s identity to their choices.
