Of course threats work. In the here and now - if we are willing to threaten to take something away that our child really cares about.
But do threats as a way to foster cooperation give us what we want for our children and ourselves in the long run?
In this episode I propose that we put guilt, shame and our own inner critic to one side - and simply get curious about the long (and short ) term effect of threats in our parenting.
This episode might be just what you need to share with your partner or for you to see things in a new light.
In the episode I refer to the 2nd episode of this podcast:
"Three things that fuel cooperation" - which would follow on nicely from today's episode.
