Being tested
Along the way, our children will test us by challenging our limits. They want to see if we have the willpower and backbone to stand up for what we believe is important. The way we use discipline to pass this test will gain their admiration and win their hearts (sometimes despite their loud protests). The goal is to prepare them for their own future by focusing on what they are learning more than gaining their conformity. Teaching is the heart of discipline.
