Punishing Misbehavior in Kids

The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 13, 2014

Dr. Elisabeth Guthrie, Psychiatrist and Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics at Columbia University, talks about punishment in the family: what's appropriate and what's not, what works for children at different ages and how to make sure when you punish for one incident, it's not because you're actually mad about something else. And Dr. Guthrie gives advice and takes questions on proper, constructive family punishment.
