It's the mom asking herself if she wants to discipline the child.<br /><br />Of course the answer is still 'no' but, as the adult, we're supposed to be able to see past the moment and do it because it's best in the long run.<br /><br />When I find myself asking or cajoling it's a big neon sign telling me to stop talking and act.Sandy Fowlerhttp://www.sandyfowler.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29220694.post-3077018749789222602011-07-13T16:44:50.617-04:002011-07-13T16:44:50.617-04:00You're right Laurie; discipline is teaching, m...You're right Laurie; discipline is teaching, mentoring, showing the way, it isn't just reacting to inappropriate or bothersome behavior.<br />Thanks for reading and leaving your insightful comment :)Brenda Nixon, Author and Speakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11052093071339488784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29220694.post-88992281548227289282011-07-13T15:00:18.534-04:002011-07-13T15:00:18.534-04:00I think this Mom not only asked the wrong question...I think this Mom not only asked the wrong question, she's a little confused about what discipline is. Discipline isn't punishment. Discipline is training a child in mind and character to enable him to become a self-controlled, constructive member of society. Punishment or giving consequences for inappropriate behavior is only a small part of disciplining a child.<br />Parents that give their kids a track to run on, with guidelines and boundaries are giving their kids a sense of security, protection, and a feeling of accomplishment. <br />I recently posted an article on The Importance of Love And Discipline at http://www.parentpositivekids.com that explains how important discipline is when we're raising our kids. <br />Thanks for this post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
