Parenting is hard. Often times our emotions take over and we resort to punishment right there in the moment because that's what we've been conditioned to do. But there is another way -- it starts with the objective. Today, we align on the objectives for raising children.
Parenting can be absolute madness. What has helped me settle down is understanding the true objective: that we need to raise fully capable, independent adults. And we can't accomplish this through punishment -- the only way to accomplish it is through taking advantage of learning opportunities.
