Erin Royer brings her background as a child development specialist and her MA in Clinical Psychology to every conversation on Parenting Beyond Discipline. While the name hints at moving past punitive measures, this podcast truly explores the full landscape of raising children in a modern world. You’ll hear thoughtful discussions that connect children's physical health and fitness to their mental well-being, and consider how family dynamics shape education and self-esteem. Erin approaches these sometimes-daunting topics with a relatable and warm presence, finding moments of humor in the daily chaos of family life. It’s a resource that feels like a thoughtful conversation with a knowledgeable friend, one who understands that parenting is about nurturing the whole child-and the whole parent, too. Tune in for practical insights that extend far beyond behavior management, offering a broader, more compassionate view of child development.
