#068 In this episode Lisa is sharing her perspective on why she believes timeouts don’t work, along with what to do instead. Additionally, she shares why she doesn’t discuss bad behaviour with kids and her thoughts on the countdown method and the diversion method in regards to discipline.
Lastly, Lisa answers eight listener questions covering various behavioral challenges, including a 3-year-old hitting a daycare teacher, a 5-year-old hitting parents, navigating endless fighting between a 5-year-old and a 2-year-old, a toddler using screaming, hitting, and kicking for attention, feeling like every interaction with a toddler is a battle, a 6-year-old putting herself in timeout, consistent corrective actions for a toddler who doesn't care about toy removal, and strategies for teaching a toddler to share.
