  • Purpose of Discipline (9-21-2011)

     

    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    You’ll find that discipline of teens works a lot better if they understand it is something they’ve brought on themselves.

    My favorite definition of discipline is: “Helping your child get to a place where they need to be and keeping them from a place where they don’t want to end up.”

    If your child understands in advance the down side of making bad choices, they’ll first be less likely to make them, and second, less likely to be angry at you when they do and are disciplined.

    Good discipline starts with establishing clear boundaries and consequences.  In this way the consequences won’t appear to be the random result of your disappointment.  Instead, they’ve brought the consequences on themselves.
