Parent coach Julietta Skoog explains that the core of discipline is teaching life skills, which she helps parents identify to build their "parenting compass". Drawing on her background as a school psychologist, Julietta advocates for a research-backed approach rooted in Positive Discipline, which emphasizes the balance of connection and firmness. She discusses how this framework helps parents be translators for information, foster intrinsic motivation, and co-regulate with their children through play, practice, and a stable, encouraging environment.
