The child should be able to respect the parent’s authority and also the rights of others. The foundation of effective discipline is respect. A disciplined person is able to postpone pleasure, is considerate of the needs of others, is assertive without being aggressive or hostile, and can tolerate discomfort when necessary. The goal of effective discipline is to foster acceptable and appropriate behaviour in the child and to raise emotionally mature adults. The hurried pace of today’s society can be an obstacle to effective discipline. The physician must stress that teaching about limits and acceptable behaviour takes time and a great deal of energy. Parenting is the task of raising children and providing them with the necessary material and emotional care to further their physical, emotional, cognitive and social development.ĭisciplining children is one of the most important yet difficult responsibilities of parenting, and there are no shortcuts. Trust between parent and child should be maintained and constantly built upon. As with all other interventions aimed at pointing out unacceptable behaviour, the child should always know that the parent loves and supports him or her.
Effective and positive discipline is about teaching and guiding children, not just forcing them to obey. It is the foundation for the development of the child’s own self-discipline. Discipline is the structure that helps the child fit into the real world happily and effectively.
