Discipline is guidance. When we guide children toward positive behavior and learning, we are promoting a healthy attitude. Positive guidance encourages a child to think before he acts.
Positive guidance promotes self-control.
Different styles of discipline produce results that are different. Discipline requires thought, planning, and patience. Punishment is usually hitting, spanking, or any type of control behavior. Slapping, spanking, switching, paddling, using a belt or hair brush, and so on. Shaming, ridiculing, or using cruel words.
