Mister Rogers said it best, “I think of discipline as the continual everyday process of helping a child learn self-discipline.”
But let’s be honest, the “everyday process” can feel awfully long. Our kids scream in ways that could peel paint off a wall—that’s assuming they haven’t already used markers to turn the wall into an art gallery.
They also bicker and fight, get snippy, don’t eat when we want them to, fall asleep when we don’t want them to, and know how to get us so frazzled we give in to behaviors we never thought we would when we didn’t have kids. Can we be honest? We were all perfect parents, until we had kids.

Do you have transcript copies of your podcasts? I don’t do podcasting and I can’t due to my work environment (military). I read a lot though…is there a place I can print copies of this and other podcast?
Billy, thanks for your question. It’s a really good one. At this point, we do not have the transcripts. However, I am going to check into it. It makes sense to have it. In the meantime, the conversation centered around this blog: http://www.joshuastraub.com/2016/10/03/8-mistakes-make-discipline-children/
I’ll check into it. In the meantime, please know of our gratitude for your service.

Can you share links to the research you refer to in this podcast?
Hey Tina! Great question!
All of the research I cite is also cited in Safe House: How Emotional Safety is the Key to Raising Kids Who Live, Love, and Lead Well. The bibliography section of the book would be the best place to find all of the original research studies I discuss. The one research study on the effects of permissive parenting comes from seminal research by Diana Baumrind in “Rearing Competent Children.” In William Damon ed., Child Development Today and Tomorrow. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 1989. Here is a link that summarizes some of her findings:

Here is a link to the Safe House book: http://www.lifeway.com/Product/safe-house-P005768978
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Hi Tina –
I have Safe House, and find it to be a WONDERFUL book! I was also looking for the research you requested that was cited in this podcast, specifically the “10 Best Parenting Strategies for getting the outcomes we’re wanting for our children” mentioned at the beginning, and throughout the podcast, and did a web search and came up with this!
https://www.evergreenpsychotherapycenter.com/the-10-best-parenting-strategies/
Hope this helps!
Thanks, Brenda! That is exactly the study I reference. Appreciate your kind words!
