Description

In today's solo episode, I share what I saw on my family vacation at Walt Disney World. One child got spanked, one got kicked and one had water tossed onto their face. We need to rethink what discipline is as a society and more importantly, we need to re-learn emotion regulation skills. It is ok to have a moment when you lose control and yell, but physical aggression, verbal abuse, and emotional abuse should never be an option against a child or any human.  I think parents need lots of tools and support, so technically these parents might not know how to replace their behavior and how to deal with their own big emotions. Let's chat about this, shall we? Join me at 9 pm ET on Monday, October 3rd for my first YouTube Live event where I will discuss what ACEs are and why I think we should avoid spanking.
