37. Why threats don't work
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.
