I know of nothing more debilitating to a child than the absence of discipline. People aren’t born with discipline, no, it is a learned behavior.
Those that have never been taught discipline have not been taught restraint which means, “you only get when you have given”.
Because discipline requires work, (sometimes many hours of it to receive a few minutes of pleasure) it is viewed negatively by some…and that is a shame.
When you rob a child of the opportunity to fail, you rob him of the privilege of success that comes from hard work.
People can see an adult that has been duct-taped with pillows his entire life a mile away, and those with no padding from the same distance - trust me
Dear kids, i promise i’ll do my best to balance discipline...freedom. my parents made
mastery. discipline included. Hooha.
