Child discipline

Child discipline is when adults, usually parents, teach children to behave in a certain way. It often involves giving children clear rules to follow, such as no hitting or screaming, and telling them what will happen if they don’t follow those rules. It can also involve giving them positive rewards or consequences when they do act in the way that they are supposed to. For example, when children get good grades, they can get rewarded with a special treat or extra free time. On the other hand, when children misbehave, they can get a time-out or lose privileges, like their screen time. Discipline should help a child learn what is right and wrong and how to act in a safe and appropriate way.
