How to Hold Kids Accountable and Raise Kids That Take Responsibility for Their Actions (Ep 125)

In Episode 125, Kyle and Sara, LPC’s, discuss the importance of kids learning how to take responsibility for their actions. Many parents ask us, “How do you hold kids accountable without punishment?” We dive into how punishment is actually the parent taking responsibility away from the child, not giving it to them. We share the four steps we have found to help kids embrace taking responsibility and actually changing their behavior. Our ultimate goal is to raise children that hold themselves accountable for what they say they are going to do.
