When we’re deciding how to respond to kids’ behavior, we’re often motivated by preventing bad things from happening in the future. We want to do everything we can to make sure they turn out to be responsible and respectful, and that they have success and happiness later in life.

You’ll also learn tips to help you prevent this type of thinking so that you can give your kids what they actually need to be successful.
