Discipline comes from discipulus, the Latin word for pupil, which also provided the source of the word disciple
(albeit by way of a Late Latin sense-shift to “a follower of Jesus Christ in his lifetime”).

Discipline is the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behavior, using punishment to correct
disobedience. It means training (someone) to obey rules or a code of behavior, using punishment to correct
disobedience.

They say that many parents have been afraid to discipline their children. This because kids nowadays are
different.

Discipline is the process of teaching your child what type of behavior is acceptable and what type is not
acceptable. In other words, discipline teaches a child to follow rules. Effective discipline uses many different
tools, like positive reinforcement, modeling, and a loving and supportive family.

Negative discipline, such as spanking, hitting, sarcasm, verbal shaming or degrading remarks, can have
detrimental effects on children's emotional health and may result in children learning to hit or yell at other
children, or in them lying to avoid getting caught instead of learning to correct behavior.

A lack of confidence in parenting can prevent parents from stepping in. They fear their child won't go to time-
out or won't listen when privileges are taken away. If consequences aren't effective, examine the reasons why
your discipline isn't working.

So you want to know when it is okay to begin disciplining your misbehaving munchkin? Discipline in its simplest
forms can start as soon as 8 months of age. You will know it is time when your once powerless little baby
repeatedly slaps your face or pulls off your glasses…and laughs hysterically.

Discipline is action or inaction that is regulated to be in accordance with a particular system of governance.
Discipline is commonly applied to regulating human and animal behavior to its society or environment it
belongs.

Discipline provides people with rules to live their lives efficiently and effectively. When you have discipline in
your life you can make small sacrifices in the present for a better life in the future. Discipline creates habits,
habits make routines, and routines become who you are daily.

The possession of self-discipline enables you to choose, and then persevere with actions, thoughts and
behavior, which lead to improvement and success. It also gives you the power and inner strength to overcome
addictions, procrastination and laziness and to follow through whatever you do.

Proper discipline leads to self-motivation, self-control, and emotional stability over the long haul. It doesn't
usually feel great to discipline your kid. There is often anger, sadness, tension, stress, and sometimes even
tears. But proper discipline is one of the most important components of your child's development.

The truth is, self-discipline is a learned skill, not an innate characteristic. Instead, the only way to improve your
self-discipline is through intentional and dedicated practice. As with all types of self-improvement, change is
difficult and it takes time.

Proverbs 13:24 says, “Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent
to discipline him”. It's actually because we love our children that we discipline them. One of the most loving
things we can do for our kids is give them a strong sense of security and purpose in daily life.

In order to build discipline, start taking small actions to make things better. Do the things that hurt you less.
Push yourself into discomfort a little bit, so you can get better at this over time. Get good at self-discipline with
some practice.

There are consequences that comes with discipline. For example natural consequences (e.g. your child is
playing roughly with a toy and the toy breaks) delay of privilege (i.e. your child has to wait to get something
they really want) loss of a privilege, “common sense consequences” (i.e. you take away a privilege) time-out.

The most powerful tool for effective discipline is attention—to reinforce good behaviors and discourage
others. Remember, all children want their parent's attention. Catch them being good. Children need to know
when they do something bad--and when they do something good.

10 Powerful Ways to
Master Self-Discipline

1. Know your weaknesses.

2. Remove temptations.
3. Set clear goals and have
an execution plan.
4. Build your self-discipline.
5. Create new habits by
keeping it simple.
6. Eat often and healthy.
7. Change your perception
about willpower.
Though teachers usually develop their own styles of discipline for their classrooms, most discipline strategies
can be categorized into three main styles or approaches.

 Preventative Discipline - defined as the measures many educators take to avert misbehavior by keeping
students engaged. We believe that the best way to prevent classroom misbehavior is to provide a
stimulating curriculum that involves students so successfully that they spend little time thinking of
misbehaving.
 Supportive Discipline - occurs when you see a student on the cusp of misbehaving or committing a
minor disciplinary infraction and you act quickly to keep the behavior from escalating.
 Corrective Discipline - imply that such action is aimed to correct any behaviour that might cause
disruption. These behaviours or violations may be a first-level violation that does not immediately cause
disruption, but a violation that need to be corrected to prevent repetition, mitigate escalation.

What Is My Parenting
Style? Four Types of
Parenting

 Authoritarian or
Disciplinarian.
 Permissive or
Indulgent.
Effective discipline requires three essential components:

1) A positive, supportive, loving relationship between the parent(s)

2) Use of positive reinforcement strategies to increase desired behaviors
3) Removing reinforcement or applying punishment to reduce or eliminate undesired behaviors

Self-Control is also important. People who lack self-control often give in to impulsive behavior and emotions as
well. Self-control is an important skill to develop because these same emotions occur in any person who feels
that their needs or desires are not being met.

Self-control, an aspect of inhibitory control, is the ability to regulate one's emotions, thoughts, and behavior in
