No matter how much you love your child, discipline is still necessary - in fact essential. The way you develop your children. The way you get involved and help your children meet their goals is important. It may seem that it's all up to the parents. As a matter of fact, it is.
Children are responders.
Parents are the pacesetters, the givers. The investment of personal interest, the free-flowing expression of love, is up to the parents. What you do with them today will determine the kind of adults they become. Dr. Charles R.
