Do you think children need discipline

yes I think they need discipline...not beating, but actual discipline (this is what you did wrong, this is how you fix it and until you can I'm taking such and such away or you're gonna sit in the thinking chair, etc.) They will be in trouble their whole life if you don't start discipline early.

yes, I agree with you. Children need discipline to learn what right and wrong, what they can do, can not to do, etc etc.

Yes,kids need to be discipline and have to start as soon as they can understand what can what cannot.what should what should not.I think to discipline and educate our children was the most important and meaningful part in our life.

My view of discipline is that it should mainly involve teaching, and that it doesn't have to be advesarial. I teach my children how to behave, in the same way I teach any other skill, like reading or riding a bike. We spend time praciticing how to behave in a store, how to greet guests, how to speak politely on the phone etc. If they misbehave, I act like a coach, showing them a better way to handle themselves. I expect them to take responsibility for their mistakes and I show them how to make things right, if they're having trouble figuring it out for themselves.

Yes, kids do need discipline. With out it you can not teach them between right and wrong. Discipline means they have to pay the consequences when they do something wrong or break the rules.

Absolutely, children need discipline! I've seen parents who don't discipline their kids in any way, shape, or form, pretty much lets them do what they want, and you can see the results: a disobedient, foul-mouth three-year-old who tells her MOTHER what to do. If children aren't taught the right way to be, anything will be acceptable to them. For some parents, spanking does the trick, and for others, time out might work. Just depends on the child. But I think talking about it afterwards and explaining to the child why they were disciplined helps.

I agree with you. To have disciplined kids must come first from the parents.

YES CHILDREN DO NEED TO BE DISCIPLINE,IF THEY WAS WE WOULDNT HAVE ALL THIS CRIME AND STUFF GOIN AROUND

course they do i dont want my children to be bad people one day

Yes children do need discipline. They need to have those bounderies set for them; to know what lines can't be crossed. I don't think it's so much parents being lazy as it is they want to be their child's friend. They want the child to like them and in doing that they aren't being a parent. Then you have the ones who are afraid to be a parent due to Social Services and many people always sticking their noses into things. I've seen too many parents who have had people cause scenes with them just because they tell their child to stop doing something. So I can understand their worry about Social Services. It's just too easy for people to complain to them and then have problems afterwards.

yes certainly.may be not to extent of military discipline.but yes in terms of having some discipline in terms of day to day activities and basic responsibility.becase what they are taught in the initial years stay with them till the very end.
