  Speaker 1: It's the Happy Families podcast. It's the podcast for the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: time poor parent who just answers. Now, Hello, this is
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: doctor Justin Coilson. I'm flying solid today. You can probably
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: hear it in my voice. I'm not quite sounding the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: way that I normally do. As it happens in that
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: thing called COVID, that global pandemic, that thing that's been
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: affecting everyone. Well, it's finally got me. I've had my
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: three shots, I've been boosted, but finally, somewhere, somehow, I've
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: picked it up along the way. And it's kind of
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: just I know that some people reflected really badly by it.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Some people are completely asymptomatic. They don't even know that
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: they've got it other than the fact that they did
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: a test and oh look what I've got. In my case,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: you can kind of just hear that little bit of
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: throatyness that I've got. I might be a little bit
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: flatter than normal, slight sniffle, but it's kind of like
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: a really mild version of man flu for me. Man
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: flu knocks me out, it puts me on my back
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: for days. COVID hasn't done that. It's just slowed me
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: down a little bit and made me, i don't know,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: struggle a little bit compared to my normal level of health.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: But in spite of that, I wanted to share a
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: podcast with you today, just a brief one, to emphasize
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: our upcoming webinar tonight. If you are a Happy Family's member,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: this is included in your membership. You don't even have
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to pay for It's already included in what you've paid
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: for already. And this is possibly one of the most
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: anticipated webinars that I've done this year. There has been
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: so much interest in it. If you're not a Happy
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Family's member and you're hearing about it for the first time,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: just jump online to Happy Families dot com, dot you
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: or go to my Facebook page doctor Justin Colson's Happy
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Families and you'll see the info for Carrots and Sticks,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a webinar about punishment, reward, time out, praise, and all
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: of these other things that parents usually do to manage
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: their children's behavior better. Tonight's webinar is really about this
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: idea that punishments and rewards are the lowest form of
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: education and if we want to help our kids to thrive,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: to flourish, and to do great stuff because it's the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: right thing to do, and not because we're forcing them
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to do it. We need to get away from the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: reward chart. We need to get away from the threats
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and bribes and actually just help our children to be awesome,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: because they kind of are. There's a whole lot of
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: history that we're going to go through in terms of
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: why we parent the way that we do, what's been
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: taught to us, what our parents did to us, what
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: their parents did then, what their parents did to our grandparents,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and so on. I've been digging through the archives and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: finding a whole lot of really fascinating stuff about why
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: carrots and sticks are just so popular. We're going to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: talk about punishment and how that creates a whole lot
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of problems, why we do it, and we're going to
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: talk about rewards and why, interestingly that also can create
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of problems, but why we consistently do it,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: And then we'll move on to what I call the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: motivation continuum. We're going to look at how we can
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: help our kids rather than hurt them, how we can
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: guide them rather than bribe them. We will also be
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: talking about time out, the research evidence that supports it,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and the problems with time out in spite of the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: research that supports it. So I'm excited, very very excited
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to share this one with you. I think that it's
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: going to blow your mind. If you're not already signed
• 3:15

• 3:24
  Speaker 1: more about it. Believe me, there will be solutions galore,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: But in the interest of preserving my voice and making
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: sure that I can actually get through the night and
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: rubbing the vix on so that I don't even sound
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: sniffly or anything like that, tonight, I want to make
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: sure that I rest up. So I hope you have
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: a great day. I hope you get through the day
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: without relying on punishments and rewards with your kids. And
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I hope that you can join me tonight for Carrots
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and Sticks the webinar as we talk about how rewards
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: seem to not work or work in reverse, do exactly
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the opposite, and punishment's the same. It's going to be
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: a great night. I'll look forward to seeing you then.
