What do you want for your children? Most parents would say that they want their children to have high self-esteem, a sense of purpose and involvement, meaningful, constructive relationships, and success at school and work. This is the ideal; but how many of us know how we can best guide our children to achieve the ideal. Questions you might ask yourself to check your attitudes about being a parent include:
When I hear the word "discipline", do I think of "punishment"?
Do I believe that children have to suffer to learn?
Do I believe that parents should control their children?
Let's look at how these common attitudes about discipline stimulate misbehavior, and explore some ways to respond to children that promote self-discipline and self-responsibility, and increase self-esteem.
