You’d Get Fired for This at Work — So Why Do We Do It to Our Kids? | BASS Podcast

In most workplaces, we’re careful with how we treat others because we know there are real consequences — you could lose your job, face disciplinary action, or damage professional relationships. But when it comes to our children, that same accountability often disappears. Many people speak to their kids in ways they would never speak to a co-worker — yelling, belittling, or even cursing — without considering the long-term effects.

This video explores why it’s so important to treat children with the same respect and emotional care we give to adults in professional spaces. We also dive into the power of apologizing to our children — acknowledging our mistakes and how our words or actions may have caused lasting emotional wounds.
