The most disciplined children are also the most responsible. Educators work hard teaching discipline along with academics. But, we know parents develop the most effective discipline at home. When parents use firm, fair and consistent discipline, they mean what they say, make sensible decisions, and enforce the rules every time. This booklet explains to parents why developing good discipline is so important. It provides parents with practical ideas for developing and maintaining good discipline with their children. Proper discipline helps parents build responsibility in children and bring out their best at home and at school.
