Some experts dispute the need for any sort of discipline, in the belief that model parents so influence children by their shinning example that discipline are largely unnecessary. If you happen to be one of the fortunate few who have been rewarded with an easy child, this may indeed is true. For the rest of us, however, discipline is most certainly necessary. But we must choose our methods carefully.
It may seem strange, but young children tend to feel much more secure when they live in an environment that has structure and clearly defined limits. Not only does good discipline make children happier, but it gives a much needed foundation to help them cope with the limits and restrictions of school and life in general. Children who have experienced little discipline before school find it hard to change overnight and fit into the limits of a kindergarten class. Some children are strong enough to take this in their stride, but many react badly, and become withdrawn, sullen and unhappy. The result may be that the child will then refuse to go to school at all.
I am in no doubt as to the benefits of discipline, but I worry about some of the stupidity that is displayed by parents in this area. In the next few articles that I am about to publish, there are various types of disciplines that I will discuss, some of which are effective most of the time: some will work occasionally: many methods are best forgotten altogether.
