What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Taking away a privilege, a toy, screen time, whatever it may be, really only teaches the child that the parent has control over them and that they can create emotional pain through something that is meaningful to the child, even if it is not in any way associated with the problem at hand.
Welcome to Tilt Parenting, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Debbie Reaver, and I have a great episode for you today. My guest is Sarah Moore, the author of the new book Peaceful Discipline: Story Teaching, Brain Science, and Better Behavior. I know that some of us may get a bad taste in our mouth when someone mentions The word discipline as it's so often associated with punishment, but it actually means to teach or to guide. And as Sarah explains, the key to long-lasting behavioral change is disciplining through connection. And this is really one of the core tenets of peaceful parenting or peaceful discipline, and it's what we explore in this episode.
I asked Sarah to walk us through what peaceful discipline is and its relationship with the traditional disciplinary tools many parents rely on when navigating tricky behavior like timeouts and consequences. Sarah also explained the power of using story teaching to help kids create positive, coherent narratives for difficult situations, no matter how old they are, as a way to create the opportunity for learning and growing. growth as opposed to experiences being internalized in harmful ways.

And a little bit about my why. Really, and I've got this in the preface of my book, but really the most concrete reason that I started this work was from my daughter's four-month Welch.
check and just standard medical checkup when she was itty bitty. And in that appointment, at one point the doctor looked at me and said, Hey, by the way, how's sleep? And, you know, she was four months old. She was sleeping like a baby, which means she was up a lot, right? This is what we know is biologically normal. But I told him, it's okay. Holistically she's getting a lot of sleep, but, you know, she's up every a couple of hours. So we're pretty tired, but We're okay with that. And he looked me in the eye and said, You're ridiculous. Don't ever pick her up when she cries. She's manipulating you. Let me know when you're ready to get serious about parenting. Well, my nervous system went into freeze mode.
