What is Discipline?

Discipline works best when we feel in-charge because we like being with children and respect their need for security

Young children are not expereniced enough, or emotionally mature enough, to be in-charge of themselves over long periods of time. Therefore they need to accept an adult's being in-charge of them.

I believe in discipline that feels strong, not hard; kind, not brutal; that holds children when they break loose not punishes by hitting back.
