Speaker 1: Funnily enough, something I want to talk about today is parenting.
Speaker 1: And I say that's funny because I don't have kids.
Speaker 1: I don't parent. But there was a post that sort
Speaker 1: of got my attention online from this woman. Her name
Speaker 1: is on Instagram k d Kasa. She is seventy thousand followers,
Speaker 1: so she has a little bit of a following there,
Speaker 1: and she posted something that has taken off and got
Speaker 1: millions of views and sparked a huge debate online about
Speaker 1: parenting styles and can you parent or slash punish your
Speaker 1: children for negative behavior with exercise. Now, she's put a
Speaker 1: photo up and her son is outside running on like
Speaker 1: beautiful manicured lawn, and she has said, you talk back, laps,
Speaker 1: you hit your sister laps, you don't put your shoes
Speaker 1: on when asked, barefoot sprints bro. Obviously that's a bit
Speaker 1: of a joke, but it sparked this huge debate on
Speaker 1: if your child is messing up, is it okay for
Speaker 1: the punishment instead of go sit in the corner or
Speaker 1: you're grounded or sitting in your room, is it okay
Speaker 1: for the punishment to be like, hey, you're going to
Speaker 1: go cut a lap of the house you're gonna go
Speaker 1: cut a lap of the yard, You're gonna do twenty
Speaker 1: pushups or whatever it is, it's okay to bring exercise
Speaker 1: into When.
Speaker 2: You say that, there was heaps of comments like what
Speaker 2: was the general consensus in the comments section?
Speaker 1: Two thousands thousands for it?
Speaker 2: Against it?
Speaker 1: No, both, No, A lot of people saying you can't
Speaker 1: punish your children with that, that like you're doing the
Speaker 1: wrong thing. You're giving them a negative association with exercise.
Speaker 1: And then a lot of people.
Speaker 2: Say, maybe that's probably a fair point.
Speaker 1: Well no, because I thought of when I read through it,
Speaker 1: I'm sort of pro that this is okay. And the
Speaker 1: reason I say that is she had to keep amending
Speaker 1: her as it grew to millions of followers. She kept
Speaker 1: amending her statement about what she would, her thoughts and
Speaker 1: why she thinks it's okay. And she's like, think about
Speaker 1: when you are anxious or when you have built up
Speaker 1: energy or whatever it is, when you go in exercise,
Speaker 1: it releases and doorphins, it becomes positive and you feel good.
Speaker 1: She's like, this, this is as much as them, these
Speaker 1: kids going to burn off some energy so that they
Speaker 1: can be better behaved. As it is about learning some
Speaker 1: discipline and structure.
Speaker 2: What do you think I think when it comes to discipline,
Speaker 2: I put that in like you know, a quotation marks.
Speaker 2: The reason why people get so angry is because they
Speaker 2: think of the most extreme version, like if you're if
Speaker 2: Lola hits her sister and I'm like, Lola, you know,
Speaker 2: go outside and run around the backyard and come back inside.
Speaker 2: I mean, what's the difference between that and saying, Lola,
Speaker 2: you can have a time out.
Speaker 3: Taking some calls here at the pickup, give us a
Speaker 3: buys Crystal's call. What are your thoughts on this?
Speaker 4: I think absolutely not. I don't want my kids to
Speaker 4: think that if they do something wrong, I'm going to
Speaker 4: just throw them outside and make them run around. I
Speaker 4: think that there's better way to teach your kids.
Speaker 2: What do you do though, when they do something wrong?
Speaker 2: How do you do it?
Speaker 4: I sit down and I chat to them about it
Speaker 4: and enforced boundaries and things like that. But I definitely
Speaker 4: would not punish my kids by making them do exercise
Speaker 4: or be like drop and give me twenty No way,
Speaker 4: I think I would.
Speaker 3: Yes, I think it's later. I think it really is
Speaker 3: the easy way out for parents. Jamie's joined us Hi,
Speaker 3: what's your thoughts on this? Jamie High?
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, my dad did it with me and my
Speaker 5: siblings when we were younger, and I do it with
Speaker 5: my girls now with my husband. Were you were a
Speaker 5: basketball family, we were made to run suicides whenever we misbehaved.
Speaker 1: And what's your relationship with exercise now that he made
Speaker 1: you do that?
Speaker 5: Amazing? We walk every day, we run and I leave
Speaker 5: about ten houses from my parents.
Speaker 1: So I grew up like this too. But it wasn't
Speaker 1: never framed as a punishment, And I think that's the thing.
Speaker 1: I think it's like my parents would be like this,
Speaker 1: four of us kids eighteen months apart. They'd be like,
Speaker 1: you guys are doing my heading. You're mucking up. Go
Speaker 1: burn some energy, get outside, come back in an hour,
Speaker 1: go play, go ride your bike. And the fact is
Speaker 1: half the time it fixes the problem because you do
Speaker 1: have energy to burn.
Speaker 3: It's a parent based.
Speaker 5: On the kid.
Speaker 3: You know, if you've got a feit, a kid boy
Speaker 3: running around a fairy suit, I mean, for God's sake,
Speaker 3: don't make him do laps. I hate you for it.
Speaker 3: Speaking for personal experience.
Speaker 2: All right, well, look coming up, As everybody knows, there
Speaker 2: was some pretty big news that came out this morning,
Speaker 2: which is Biden has pulled out of the race for
Speaker 2: running for president. But I got myself into a bit
Speaker 2: of trouble on the weekend because I read a headline
Speaker 2: that wasn't true.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's eggs on the pickup.
