| Discipline - children. |
| Discipline is not another word for punishment. Disciplining your child means teaching them responsible behaviour and self-control. With appropriate and consistent discipline, your child will learn about consequences and taking responsibility for their own actions. The ultimate aim is to encourage the child to discipline and control themselves. At its best, discipline rewards the child for good behaviour and discourages bad behaviour using fair and positive means. Some parents think that discipline means physical punishment, such as hitting and smacking, or verbal abuse such as yelling or threatening the child. This is not discipline. |

| Ideas for positive discipline |
| You need to act when your children misbehave or when your rules are tested. Discipline is about leading a child to choose to do what is right rather than forcing them. That’s the difference between training and control. Control only surpresses undesired behaviour and it may come out in some other form later. |
