your children.
"Learning how to effectively
discipline your child is an
important skill that all
parents need to learn.
Discipline is not the same
as punishment. Instead,
discipline has to do more
with teaching, and
involves teaching your child
right from wrong, how to
respect the rights of
others, which behaviors are
acceptable and which are
not, with a goal of helping
to develop a child who feels
secure and loved, is
self-confident,
self-disciplined and knows
how to control his impulses,
and who does not get overly
frustrated with the normal
stresses of everyday life."

parental discipline. "Parents
were asked to recall the discipline strategies their mothers
and fathers used on them in childhood. Their answers
mirrored their own methods. That is, parents tended to
duplicate the type of child discipline that they had
received from their own parents.
"The only form of parental discipline experienced in
childhood that was not significantly associated with current
choice of discipline was spanking," write the researchers,
who included pediatrician Shari Barkin, MD, of Brenner
Children's Hospital, part of Wake Forest University Baptist
Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C. "
