The parental paradox of discipline

September 11, 2017 By Miki Dedijer

We all want to know how to discipline our child.

Sometimes this is another way of controlling our child.

But discipline at heart means to teach.

Our child is our disciple, a follower.

To really know something, teach it.

Our child is our teacher.

How we teach determines what we learn.

In other words, when I discipline I become my own disciple.

We’re learning together, child and parent.

Discipline asks that you're clear on what you value
