It was wonderful to come together at our annual Foundation Circle Cocktail Party for parents and Circle Members to learn about the work of The Foundation and to hear from parenting expert Dr Justin Coulson, who spoke about ‘Carrots and Sticks – Better ways to draw boundaries with your kids.’
Justin provided us with some incredible parenting stories along with useful frameworks to help enhance our parenting skills, and shared how to discipline children effectively using the three E’s of autonomy supportive parenting namely:
Explain
Explain things clearly to your kids, which means that you’re setting limits.
Explore
Explore your kid’s world so you are compassionate and understand what’s going on for them.
Empower
Empower your kids to come up with solutions for themselves that are going to work within the boundaries that you are setting.
