Discipline Resources

Good discipline helps kids learn how to behave well and grow into responsible adults who handle their feelings and actions in a good way. It means teaching them to wait for the right time for fun stuff, thinking about other people's feelings, speaking up for themselves without being mean, and handling tough situations without getting too upset. It's about showing them how to make good choices and handle things even when they're not easy.
