Do you feel like a broken record—repeating yourself all day and still getting the same behavior tomorrow?

Learn how to flip the “battery” the right way by teaching life skills, modeling the exact words to say (monkey see, monkey do), and using the simple “this… then that” formula with 1–3 crystal-clear steps that help kids make what’s important to them show up.
 

Are consequences really teaching responsibility — or just control? In this episode, Bonnie and Thomas Liotta explore the powerful difference between consequences and accountability, and how teaching cause and effect empowers children from the inside out.
