I'm proud to announce that our first-ever guest on this podcast is Dr Vanessa Lapointe! She really needs no introduction; her work spans the globe. Dr Vanessa is full of heart, kindness and compassion for parents, yet gives us a kick up the butt when we need. In this episode, we talked about what kids REALLY need from us, how to transition out of the old parenting paradigm, and even touched on the differences between discipline and punishment. Such a great conversation!***If this resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you.
