   Gut Health ft. Tina Anderson

   There's a lot of buzz about gut health and probiotics--but it can feel overwhelming to digest it all (no pun intended).

Do I get the refrigerated ones, the chewable...or maybe the gummies for the kids? Today, we are exploring all things gut health with Tina Anderson, the Co-Founder of Just Thrive Probiotics.

   Punishment

   I favor a positive parenting approach, so I don't use a lot of rewards and punishments in our house. However, there are times when these methods can be useful and I want to share some examples with you today. When it comes to behavior modification, it's most effective to use reinforcement/rewards when you want to increase a desirable behavior and punishment when you need to decrease undesirable behavior. I'll talk more about this today. Other episodes referenced: Reward charts - https://simplefamilies.com/episode211/ Time outs - https://simplefamilies.com/episode113/ Expansion and…
