The Sisters2Moms Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

In today’s episode, Katy and Sari dive into the complex topics of disciplining and punishing young children. They explore the principles of gentle parenting, discussing what truly benefits parents and what doesn’t. The hosts tackle often-debated methods (aka “taboo tools”) like timeout, bribing, threatening, and yelling, analyzing when these strategies might work and fall short. They also address questions about picky eating in toddlers, age-appropriate discipline, and using rewards to encourage positive behavior. Packed with practical examples and candid insights, this episode aims to provide valuable guidance for navigating these challenging aspects of parenting. We hope you find it both informative and helpful!

Katy and Sari are back for episode 3 of the Sisters2Moms podcast to discuss a hot topic with parents: SCREEN TIME. We are living in a world of screens, so how do we find balance with our kids? How can we navigate that when we are addicted to screens ourselves? How can different types of screens impact our kids differently and what boundaries can help? We answer all these questions and more in an honest conversation about parenting in the digital world.
