Parenting using rewards and punishment or natural consequences
Parenting isn’t easy and many parents turn to rewards, discipline and punishment to manage the many day-to-day challenges like getting homework done, "inspiring" the kids to help around the house with the dishes, garbage or to keep their room clean. What about talking back and reducing screen time squabbles...what strategies do you use?

Ep 1 - Consequences - ABC Radio Illawarra

I'm sure everyone knows an adult or two who struggle to manage their emotions and behaviours right? So how do people learn self-regulation?

As your children grow under your guidance and loving care, you help them to learn how to eat well, exercise, get enough rest, manage their emotions and gain the knowledge and skills they need to navigate the world safely and happily. Overtime, the aim is for us parents and carers to “do ourselves out of a job” as our children learn to take care of their own physical, emotional, social and psychological wellbeing so they’re ready to leave home and lead their own lives.

Ep 2 - Self Regulation

Are you worried about protecting your child from being bullied online or in-person? If your child was being bullied, would you know what to do? If you’ve experienced bullying as a child or an adult, then you know how frightening and life-destroying it can be. As a parent, you want to do everything you can to protect your child from being bullied, so they never have to experience that horrible feeling of being picked on, laughed at, excluded or physically harmed.

Ep 5 - Stepping In

As Christmas approaches, managing children's expectations becomes crucial. Dr. Rosina advises focusing on holiday rituals like decorating, baking, and watching movies rather than just gifts. She suggests acknowledging children's desires and explaining that not all wishes can be fulfilled immediately, encouraging delayed gratification. For sibling comparisons, she recommends empathy and redirecting attention to shared blessings. Dr. Rosina emphasizes the importance of small disappointments in teaching resilience. She also highlights the value of gratitude and slowing down present-opening to savor each gift. Delayed gratification is linked to success in various life aspects, reinforcing the importance of these lessons.
