Then we had a good exchanges about what constitute positive discipline that actually work for long term or lifetime results and the negative discipline that we ought to try to avoid, or at least minimize their use or occurrence as they might produce instant result and no long lasting effects, thus ultimately, they sub-convent our parenting effort.
In doing this posting now, I've just realize that the list of discipline seems almost twice as long the love list. This brings me to ask: Are we more obsessed with disciplining than loving?
Also, as parents, what do we really want to raise:
just law-abiding citizens? Vs. moral citizens?
These are the questions for our next session. Until then, all and any of your opinions are always welcomed and valued.
