DISCIPLINE WITH RESPECT in Caring Relationships

DISCIPLINE WITH RESPECT is a challenge to look beyond the day-to-day activities of raising children to consider what children must learn to become mature responsible young adults. It is only when considering adulthood that all the encouragements, coaching, rules, guidance, and re-directions make sense. Discipline is education. To accomplish our task, we must be well equipped and committed to an educational program that will help children meet their life goals. But there’s more to child discipline than techniques. Discipline with respect means developing a respectful, loving relationship with children.
