Child Discipline Starts With Mom And Dad

Parents should start child discipline early.

My wife and I have a degree in child development.  But I assure you, raising children is not as easy as the books say.  One parenting hurdle is child discipline.  Of course everyone of us want to have kids with the right values.  But before you hit the books or check out the all-knowing google, know that discipline starts with the parents.

Having a family with great values require focusing on the fundamentals.  And I am talking about the discipline of the parents.  It is a huge commitment to raise a child so get ready.  If you are not ready for the responsibility then you are in trouble.  Likewise, it is essential that both mom and dad are clear on the boundaries of discipline.  Child discipline strategies vary from person to person and from generation to generation.  I grew up at a time when spanking kids are a daily occurrence.  In contrast, my wife and I do not believe in spanking.  So this is a huge decision between parents.  What child discipline strategies will you employ?.  Lastly, and probably one of the hardest to do is to stick with your strategy.  When one parent deviates from the plan, the child may get confused.  This is really evident when one parent does one thing while the other does the opposite.

So child discipline is a critical part of your lives as parents.  Make sure you build on a strong foundation in order to create a stronger family.
