Welcome back to The 👋🏾Hey, Good Dads Podcast! In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most controversial topics in parenting: DISCIPLINE. Host Gerald 'Mr. BPOZ' Mayes shares an archived conversation from the Yes, We Fight Podcast, where he, his wife Juliamarie, and their two youngest kids discuss their thoughts and experiences on corporal punishment.
Gerald opens up about his decision to stop using physical punishment on his children, reflecting on how growing up in an environment where discipline meant "whoopings" impacted him—and why he chose a different path for his kids.
We explore the cultural and religious pressures surrounding this issue, particularly within Black and Hispanic communities, and why creating an emotionally safe environment is crucial for fostering trust and communication with your children.
