Creating family rules that work: Discipline is the process of guiding and teaching children to have acceptable behavior within certain limits, to cooperate, to be responsible, and to think for themselves. Discipline is not the same as punishment.
Punishment treats the person as wrong and deals with the past. Discipline treats the act as wrong and deals with the present and what should happen in the future. The goal for children is to gradually gain an inner sense of self-discipline that will guide them in the world. Steps to creating rules that stick in your house.
