A Lesson in Discipline
July 11th, 2008
I found this quote in an article i was reading on parenting.com
The real goal of discipline isn’t to punish. It’s to help kids really want to do the right thing.
It really made me think about how, when and why I discipline Dear Son. This quote is so true… discipline should be for teaching, a lesson – not to punish or make them feel guilt or shame. Going forward I will think of this quote with each disciplinary action needed and really think does the discipline match the ‘crime.’
