  • Summary

  • Think of discipline as 90% teaching and guiding, and 10% punishment. At its heart, effective discipline is about teaching and nurturing – imagine yourself as a coach rather than a referee. The vast majority of discipline should focus on encouragement, patient teaching, celebrating small wins, and helping your child practice good choices. Early, consistent guidance requires much less intervention than correcting established behaviors later. Like teaching any skill, it's easier to help your child develop positive habits from the start than to change course once challenging behaviors become routine. When you spend 90% of your effort on teaching, encouraging, and practicing positive behaviors, you'll find yourself needing that remaining 10% of correction far less often, and only needed when in right circumstances.
