Why Punishment-Free Parenting Works: Father's Day Special (with Jon Fogel of Whole Parent)
Manage episode 486427788 series 3338949
This week, Travis and Pierre sit down with Jon, author of Punishment-Free Parenting, to explore what it means to lead with empathy—not control—as a father, partner, and man.
Jon shares honest stories from his own fatherhood journey and dives into how neuroscience, curiosity, and compassion can help men raise resilient kids without shame or punishment. Together, they challenge outdated models of masculinity and offer practical tools for parenting and personal growth.
Key Highlights:
- How your experience as a son shapes how you show up as a father
- Why punishment fails—and what real connection looks like instead
- The power of curiosity and modeling over control or fear
Challenge:
Reflect on one lesson from your upbringing you want to break—or carry forward. Where can you lead with curiosity instead of control?
