  • When Consequences Fail (Try This Instead)
    Jun 11 2026

    #176 In this episode, Lisa discusses her thoughts on consequences. She covers the importance of consistency, choosing the right consequence, whether or not she believes consequences need to be connected to the bad behaviour, and shifting the focus towards your parenting rather than the child’s behaviour.

    Lastly, Lisa addresses nine listener questions, discussing consequences for a 10-year-old, what to do when a 3-year-old doesn’t care about toys being taken away, how to handle a situation when the behaviour from a 4-year-old changes around company, and how to navigate mealtime battles with a 3-year-old. She then explores managing consequences when friends are over, whether parents should be using chores as consequences, what to do when children don’t respond well to consequences, how to respond to a 5-year-old choosing to break rules, and finishes with her general approach to addressing a 7-year-old picking their nose.

  • When Ignoring Tantrums Goes Too Far
    Jun 4 2026

    #174 In this episode, Lisa discusses her thoughts on approaching tantrums. She covers her general approach, the tantrum aftermath, tantrums about needs compared to wants, the importance of connection with calm leadership parenting, and not having a conversation with others during your child’s tantrums.

    Lastly, Lisa addresses six listener questions, discussing handling toddler tantrums over needs, what to do when a 5-year-old becomes destructive when things don’t go his way, how to navigate co-parenting transition time, and how to respond when a 19-month-old throws tantrums in public. She then explores strategies for managing twin tantrums from 19-month-olds and finishes by clarifying the difference in her opinion between soothing compared to rewarding a tantrum.
