Hi Archana!how r u? Discipline is very important in life. It's dictionary meaning is 'train to obey rules or a code of behavior,using punishment to correct disobedience'. I am OK with the first part of it but for a small child punishment to correct disobedience could be little tricky as well as unethical. To begin with U could rather make use of another strategy to discipline your child i. e. love. I feel children understand much better and sooner the message gets across when this strategy is used. Whatever is taught with punishment or fear in mind would be disobeyed or rules would be broken when there is no punsihment or fear cease to exist. So message won't be retained for long. We don't want the child to avoid junk food when mommy is there and in her absence or when she is away,survive only on junk food. Archana I believe u could explain the child why u want her to do a particular thing and avoid another. Shouting,spanking, scolding, hitting or punishment would do more harm than good. Teach discipline with love and being a role model yourself. Hope this helps!
