Life Changing, A Must Listen for Any Parent!

The second episode is full of Gold for any parents, even if your child isn't currently experiencing bullying.

This podcast has already been life-altering for me.

As a parent, despite what our children may think, we're often winging it when it comes to parenting. While we may have some basic instincts, most of our parenting knowledge comes from the way we were parented. Which in many cases is a weakness in our society, because bad parenting habits are passed down from generation to generation.

Tools like this podcast are extremely helpful for any parent to be aware of and armed with.

When I went to pick up my son from pre-school the other day, the first thing he told me as I was placing him in his car seat, was that another "friend" of his had punched him at school.

Normally I wouldn't know how to respond to his statement other than to say "next time that happens, you need to tell a teacher." However, because of the knowledge I've gained in just the first two episodes of this podcast, I was able to handle things differently.

Thanks to Clifford Starks insights, I was able to tell my son, "the next time that happens, you need to tell the kid you hit you that he hurt you, and ask him why he's hurting you." This will help the other child understand the impact of his actions and perhaps, stop a bad habit at a young age.

While I'm not positive how impactful this experience will be on a 4-year-old, the earlier I can get my son to use these tools, the more equipped he'll be to handle situations as he grows older.

I highly encourage any parents to listen and subscribe to the podcast. Please check it out!
