Positive Discipline and Secure Attachment: A Cultural Perspective

Peace at Home Parenting Expert Tanika Eaves Tanika Eaves,PhD, LCSW, IMH-E®

Challenges & Solutions

Even though most parents have spanked their child at one time or another, there is an amazing amount of research that tells us about the negative effects of corporal punishment. Understanding the roots of our discipline practices may be important in understanding why we choose certain parenting practices and how they affect our children.

  • Peace at Home Expert Tanika Eaves shares her passion for children and families as well as her research skills and personal insight to her extraordinary workshop. She co-presented with her esteemed guest, Doug Edwards, founder of Real Dads Forever 

This workshop took a look at the history of slavery and colonialism to think together about their role in shaping beliefs about discipline and practices presumed to be “cultural.” We will discuss how these historical traumas may have influenced certain discipline techniques and their impact on children’s emotional, mental, and behavioral well-being.

They looked at what research indicates about the kind of discipline that is both helpful and affirming to kids and increases cooperation. We will consider positive discipline and how it works. Positive discipline emphasizes understanding children’s needs and emotions while nurturing their growth and development. By using positive discipline techniques, parents build strong, trusting relationships with their children, leading to healthier emotional and social development. Science based, positive discipline approaches also tend to increase cooperation without harming children’s confidence and courage.

Challenges & Solutions

Rapid growth, exploration and risk taking are all part of teen development. Taking risks give teens a chance to test their abilities and learn more about themselves. Some risks, however, can be harmful and have lasting effects on your child’s health and well-being. 

Two of parents’ biggest concerns right now regarding teen health and safety are vaping and cannabis. Vaping has become one of the most popular forms of substance use among young people, despite the growing evidence of its health risks and harms. While nicotine is a common substance used by vaping teens, daily cannabis use in different forms is at a significant level. Whether your child has not tried these substances or has already begun to use or is using regularly, this workshop is for you. 

When talking about vaping, nicotine and cannabis with your child, it is helpful to know the myths and the facts. For example, your teen may say, “It’s harmless because it is natural,” or “It’s not addictive,” or “It doesn’t affect my thinking or my grades.” However, research shows that substance use can cause serious problems with learning, feelings, and health. It’s important for you to have informed conversations with your teen. Trust your gut and get the facts. Parent knowledge, communication, and monitoring can make a big difference in keeping your child safe.

Understand and Support Your Neurodivergent Child: From Misbehavior to Stress Response

February 15, 2024 12:00 pm EDT/EST
Take This Workshop

Expert

Peace At Home Parenting Expert Michelle Sebak, Our Experts Michelle Sebak,MS

Challenges & Solutions

We often view kids’ challenging behaviors as misbehavior – that is on purpose or even manipulation to gain or avoid something. This point of view is sadly common in families and even in schools. In order to correct the behavior we don’t want, we tend to “discipline” our children which commonly means consequences, time-outs or punishment. Even though largely outdated and sometimes harmful, most adults believe that these approaches “teach” children to behave in more appropriate or expected ways. 

In contrast, science tells us that what is often viewed as misbehavior is actually a stress response. When a child feels stressed or unsafe on the inside, challenging behaviors are what we see on the outside. And neurodivergent children, like those with Autism or ADHD, are even more vulnerable to feeling stressed than neurotypical children. Let’s work on this together.
