Parenting Articles to
Help Discipline Your Child

While growing up, our parents and/or caregivers influence our values and principles. When you become a parent, you will then do 1 of 3 things.

1. You will adopt the principles and values your parents have taught you and continue to live by them today OR
2. You will completely reject your parents values and do the exact opposite of what you believe your parents would do OR
3. You are somewhere in the middle - you will accept some of your parents values and rejected others.

During their younger years, it is up to you to teach and guide them so that when they are older, they can make the right decision when it comes to their safety. It's up to you to encourage healthy behavior so that they will head down a life path that will ultimately lead to happiness.

It's your job to support your children and help them manage consequences, not intervene on their behalf and definitely not to assume that "I told you so" attitude. That does not teach your child anything except not to come to you to talk things over anymore.
