Season 2 Episode #3 - No, Not Even a Slap on the Hand : Why Discipline Doesn’t Need to Hurt
In this episode, we’re talking about something that still shows up in lots of parenting advice - the idea that “just a little slap” is harmless, helpful, or even necessary.
We explore:
Why physical punishment (yes, even a slap on the hand) isn’t just ineffective — it can be harmful
What the research tells us about physical discipline and long-term outcomes for children
What respectful, effective discipline can look like
How we support children’s behaviour without shame, fear, or force
Whether you were smacked as a child and want to do things differently, or you’re deep in the trenches and looking for a better way - this episode is for you.
You are not alone, and you don’t have to figure this out without support.
