Nourishing food and sufficient rest. Comfortable, suitable clothing that the youngster can take pride in. The space and healthful conditions for play, both outdoors and in. Play equipment that meets the needs. Verbal conditions for good discipline.
Words are important in a youngster's life.
The words used in giving a young one directions should be chosen carefully and used sparingly. Conversation between parent and child should not be confined to orders or reprimands on the parents part. There is no one rule, one single formula, one best way. Discipline is a long-term process of teaching, training, and guiding. Each child is an individual and each situation is in some way different from any other situation.
