In this brief video, the speaker argues that the "naughty step" parenting technique is harmful because it labels children as "naughty" and punishes them for experiencing strong emotions. The speaker emphasizes that all behavior is driven by feelings, and that parents should focus on helping children regulate their emotions and make good choices rather than using punitive measures like the naughty step. The video invites viewers to explore more of these ideas through additional resources.

Get rid of the naughty step. Here's why: it labels your child as naughty, so they believe they're a naughty child. All behaviour is driven by feelings, so it acts as a punishment to your child for having a strong feeling. Our job is to help our children make good choices and regulate their emotions, not to punish them by putting them on the naughty step. If you like these ideas, see below for more.
