Motivated Mama YouTube EP 13

Discipline is an important part of raising a child. It's the parent's responsibility to teach the child right from wrong and help develop their character. But what if your child back talks and you don't want to resort to hitting or yelling at them? Backtalk is a persistent problem for many parents. This type of behavior consists of challenging authority and being disrespectful. Children need to learn how to behave, and the only way for that to happen is for us parents to set boundaries and enforce them.

Join this conversation and learn how you can set healthy boundaries to handle backtalk and peacefully discipline your children. It can be dealt with in a number of ways without resorting to physical or emotional punishment.
