The BEST way to discipline your kids...

A restorative parenting approach that turns conflict into cooperation and discipline into growth.

I’ve received a lot of questions about “restorative parenting,” so I decided to dedicate an article to what I believe is the BEST way to discipline your kids in a restorative way, something I call Collaborative Discipline.

If you’re here, chances are, you’re done with the punishment and control, “command and demand,” paradigm for parenting... even if sometimes you slip back into that once in a while. You want a better way that doesn’t look like compounding threats, escalating conflict, and doesn’t turn “get off your iPad” into something rivaling mutually assured destruction.

But how do we do that? How do we break the cycle of control that almost always backfires during the teen years without going full on “permissive parent”?
