Listen " #165: Discipline & Boundaries: Finding the Sweet Spot"
Episode Synopsis
Theme: Navigating the balance between structure and empathy.Positive Discipline That Works: Creative consequences that teach, not punishFrom Meltdowns to Mindfulness: Helping kids regulate emotions during tantrums or defianceBack-to-school season is here and the routines are rolling in. This week, Athena and Mims get real about the difference between discipline (habits we build) and boundaries (the yeses and nos that protect our peace)—and how to teach both without constant power struggles. From tone checks and time-outs to family calendars, faith-framed routines, and consequences that actually connect, they share what’s worked, what’s flopped, and how they course-correct after tough moments (hello, “mom, are you okay?” tears). You’ll hear candid stories about missed deadlines, picture-day chaos, and raising kids who can reflect, self-regulate, and apologize—just like we do.Got a discipline dilemma or a boundary win, Torn Tribe?
