How to discipline your children
Loving correction is an essential part of parents’ relationship with their children. You can make discipline a natural expression of the love you feel for your children.
Here are some ideas that may help you practise loving discipline in your home:
- Create a loving relationship in which correct principles can be taught.
- Establish family rules.
- Be unified and consistent as parents.
- Think of discipline as a way to teach rather than to punish.
- Reinforce with love.
“Bring up your children in the love and fear of the Lord; study their dispositions and their temperaments, and deal with them accordingly, never allowing yourself to correct them in the heat of passion; teach them to love you rather than to fear you” (Brigham Young).
