Discipline today was created after a dinner party with 4 couples where the general topic of discipline dominated the nights conversation. The conversation started with child discipline and the realization that not only did all 4 couples had different opinions and tactics for discipline but also all 4 sets of husband and wife pairs did not agree between themselves how much discipline was appropriate and how it should be administered.

The conversation turned to other discipline topics, from the self discipline and will power required to be successful with dieting to the financial discipline required to survive in a weak economy.

We decided it would be worthwhile to create a resource dedicated to the many facets of discipline that are critical to building healthy families, stronger individuals and solid households. We are just getting going as of Feb 2010 so plan to add plenty of discipline related resources and to launch the Discipline Today community forum.

Self Discipline Quotes

"Self-discipline is the companion of will power. It endows with the stamina to persevere in whatever one does. It bestows the ability to withstand hardships and difficulties, whether physical, emotional or mental. It grants the ability to reject immediate satisfaction, in order to gain something better, but which requires effort and time."

Ramez Sson, Author

"Self-discipline involves acting according to what you think instead of how you feel in the moment. Often it involves sacrificing the pleasure and thrill of the moment for what matters most in life."

Peter Clemens

"Self-discipline is a form of freedom. Freedom from laziness and lethargy, freedom from the expectations and demands of others, freedom from weakness and fear—and doubt. Self-discipline allows a pitcher to feel his individuality, his inner strength, his talent. He is master of, rather than a slave to, his thoughts and emotions."

H.A. Dorfman

"Nothing is more harmful to the service, than the neglect of discipline; for that discipline, more than numbers, gives one army superiority over another."

Quick Tips for Child Discipline

from AACAP.org

Trust your child to do the right thing within the limits of your child's age and stage of development.
Make sure what you ask for is reasonable.
Speak to your child as you would want to be spoken to if someone were reprimanding you. Don't resort to name-calling, yelling, or disrespect.
Be clear about what you mean. Be firm and specific.
Model positive behavior. "Do as I say, not as I do" seldom works.
Allow for negotiation and flexibility, which can help build your child's social skills.
Let your child experience the consequences of his behavior.
Whenever possible, consequences should be delivered immediately, should relate to the rule broken, and be short enough in duration that you can move on again to emphasize the positives.
Consequences should be fair and appropriate to the situation and the child's age.
