Sometimes a difference of opinion occurs as to the correct handling of a child's behavior, leading to arguments in the home.
Children thrive in an atmosphere of security and consistency.
Parents, as well as teachers, teacher aides, and childcare providers, need to support one another in carrying out discipline methods. Parents do well to think through and plan their approach to major child-rearing issues before they actually occur. If it becomes apparent that both parents never will be able to agree on a particular issue, the next best step to take is for that parent who happens to be closest to a discipline-demanding situation, to set the needed limits on the child's undesirable behavior.
