Is Public Shaming Good or Bad Parenting?: KSL News

Julie Hanks, LCSW joins KSL News to discuss the newest parenting trend, public shaming.Public shaming might not be the punishment that parents are hoping for. It may encourage bad behavior by directing attention to it. This concerning trend shames the child but doesn't address the negative behavior. Also, it does seem concerning that parents are receiving attention for the shaming instead of focusing on the teaching of positive behavior.Here are a couple ideas that can take the place of public shaming:1. Focus on your relationship with your child. Use that relationship to discuss the values that matter to your family and why their behavior isn't in line with those values.2. Focus on positive behaviors that reinforce family values, like volunteering.
