Whoopings, Spankings, and Everything In-Between

Figuring out how to discipline children is not an easy task. What did our parents do? What does the research say? How do our personal morals shape our chosen methods of punishment? What does the child need? How do we raise children so that they grow up healthy and safe? What's "right" and "wrong" when it comes to disciplining children is not so black-and-white. Aja, Laiya, and Jill talk about the spankings they've gotten, the spankings they've given, and the difficult conversations they've had with their parents about the link between slavery and discipline today.

Relational to My Life 💙

I chose to write this review because FINALLY something is said that is relatable to my Black Life. I recommend this to mothers, wives, single ladies, ladies w/o kids, etc. This entire podcast is awesome! However this one in particular I like how one of the ladies says that each child has to be guided differently based on their needs. These Jill Scott podcasts are the bomb! ~much appreciated Ladies!
