Lisa emphasizes why she believes parents should stop discussing bad behaviour with their kids.

Instead, she advocates for addressing bad behavior swiftly with consequences and then focusing on positive connection and self-esteem. Lisa argues that discussing bad behaviour can shame and blame children, making them feel worse and potentially reinforcing negative behaviour.

She also answers listener questions covering kids bringing bad behaviour home from school, getting kids to eat at the dinner table, kids hitting during a tantrum, giving warnings before a consequence, siblings annoying each other, and what to do when a toddler doesn’t want to walk home from the park.
