Parenting & Discipline Strategies for Emotionally Healthy Children

Some helpful Do's & Don't's and Parenting Strategies from my colleague Zach Rawlings

"Remember that by understanding your child’s threshold for stress and connecting with them in meaningful ways will have a positive effect on their development. Don’t shy away from being vulnerable with your child and always look for ways to incorporate more affirmation into your discipline tactics. Stay away from threats and look for the most opportune times to teach life lessons to your children. If you’re struggling to control your own emotional reactions, seek out someone to help you model more appropriate responses.
