Parents, when you correct your children, never discipline out of anger;

always correct from a place of love.

One tip to doing so is to take a thirty-second pause.

Consider the boundary that was crossed and how to show your children the consequence of their actions.

Differentiate between your children and their behavior.

When you go back to your kids, remind

them that your love for them won’t change,

even when they make decisions you don’t like. Ultimately,

remember the purpose of discipline:

training your child to make wise decisions. As Fred Rogers put it,

“Discipline [is] the continual everyday process of helping a child learn self-discipline.”
