Timeout. Natural consequences. Tap in, tap out. There are a lot of ways to go about disciplining our kids. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about dads’ role in it all.

A child who is not disciplined is a child who grows up without a rudder. Discipline enables kids to thrive. It isn't exactly the most fun part of parenting, but it’s necessary. Even good fathers can struggle to do it well. We give a few options that any dad can try in this episode.

Why This Matters

All kids need to be disciplined, but if it’s not done well, dads can create long-term problems.

Key Takeaways

  • Consistency Matters: Discipline loses its effectiveness if it’s not administered consistently
  • Strive To Be United With Your Spouse: Differing messages confuse kids
  • Staying Calm is Always the Goal: Kids receive information better from a calm parent
  • Timeout Loses Effectiveness the Longer it Lasts: Indiana University researchers say timeouts with young children should be limited to three minutes maximum.
