    Discover all of the podcasts in our network, search for specific episodes, get the Optimal Living Daily workbook, and learn more at: OLDPodcast.com. Episode 3054: Dr. Laura Markham argues that traditional discipline and punishment often backfire during the teen years because adolescents are developing their own identity and need to believe their choices are right for them. She explains how strong relationships, respectful communication, accountability through repair, and clear expectations help teens develop internal discipline, emotional regulation, and a genuine desire to make responsible decisions. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.ahaparenting.com/read/positive-discipline-teens Quotes to ponder: "If you have a strong-willed child, you've already learned from your child's rebelliousness that you can't control your child; you can only help him WANT to cooperate, and foster the emotional control that will help him do so." "One of the keys in getting teens to cooperate is respecting that in most areas of their life, they need to be in charge." "You can't hope to have any influence if your kid doesn't enjoy being with you." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

LEDs were supposed to be one of the great technological and environmental success stories: a revolutionary technology that uses a fraction of the energy of traditional light bulbs. But is that what they've become? Or are they just an example of humankind’s insatiable desire for stuff? After all - we’ve just started lighting up more of the world than ever before. Ed’s journey takes us from a small chemical factory in rural Japan where inventor Shuji Nakamura spent years battling explosions in pursuit of the world's first blue LED, all the way to Victorian Britain and the economist William Stanley Jevons whose ideas still shape the way we think about energy and consumption today. Along the way, Ed explores one of the biggest questions in economics and climate policy: The Jevons Paradox. When technology becomes more efficient, do we actually use less of it, or simply find new ways to consume more?
