Re: Discipline

I was really quite strict with my daughter when she was growing up.......it was hubby who was the softy. Now my daughter tells me that the boundaries that were set for her were reasonable and that she only challenged them to see how far she could go.

I would always give a warning first and if the bad behaviour continued then I would carry out my threat.

She is now using these practices with her stepsons and her own son.

I do not believe in child abuse, but I do think it is the responsibility of a parent to instill values, moral and otherwise into their children.
