Summary
If your home feels like a battlefield and you’re done repeating yourself for the hundredth time—this episode will change the way you think about discipline.
Bestselling author and podcast host Ginger Hubbard cuts through all the parenting noise. We break down why so many parents feel powerless, why kids are running the show, and how common strategies like bribing, threatening, or over-explaining might actually make things worse. This isn’t about blaming your child—it’s about understanding the system we’ve been taught and learning how to take control with smarter, more effective approaches.
