It's not discipline. Discipline stems from the word 'disciple,' meaning a follower of principle. It entails firmness, with dignity and respect. Punishment is about anger, oppression, disrespect, imposing control. Disciplining children takes more time, but it is time well- spent, Glenn said.
Punishment is expedient, a short-term solution.
Glenn suggested things every parent can do to develop his or her disciplinary skills. Parents should learn more effective ways to manage their time. As more and more households shift to two wage-earner households, or have only one parent in the home, time becomes scarce. Take a little time to do the most important job you'll do in your life effectively. Glenn has developed a program to help.
