Most parents agree that children who misbehave need to be corrected. What they don't always agree on is how.
Do you are your better half or family members agree when it comes to disciplining?Do you find common ground?
Oftentimes my husband and I haven't givin it much thought as to what we want to accomplish untill a problem occurs.

I think discipline in the home should fit the punishment, but not to hard and not too soft either.

I think that all parents have their own way to discpline their children. When my parents or his parents step in with an opinion I politely let them know that I can handle it. My fiances sister has a little girl who tends to act out, and she allows everyone in the family to correct her. I personally will not because I don't believe in other people correcting anothers child. I think its the responsibilty of the parent to do the correction not other family memebers.

I agree other people should not discipline you children family or not. What I meant about family is that like for instance my parents do not agree with how I discipline my children and voice it to me all the time. I hate that. They were strict when I was a child but as they got older I guess they mellowed.

I feel the parents are right in saying that the children should be brought up in a disciplined manner. If there is a quarrel between husband and wife, then this principle will not work, because the house is divided.
When our parents were telling us do;s and don'ts during our childhood days, we try to hoodwink them. Now we realise the pains they had taken to correct us. If it was followed, may be our lives would have been more illustrious than what it is now. So learnt by bad experience, I still try to tell my children that they should have some discipline in life and try to inculcate good values for their own good. I think it sells.

I was the middle of 3 girls growing up. My mom was real strict with us girls as well as I am with my children. My husband and I finally talked about it and came up with what we think is a good discipline plan for us. Before it was which ever parent caught the child then it was that parent that laid down the law sort of speek which really doesnt work because I always turn out to be the meannie of the laws.

There's no proven formula on how to discipline kids who misbehave. Environmental factor has a vital role in kids' behaviour in which you must cope up with in order to determine the correct approach in disciplining your kids. What I observed on kids' behaviour is, if they are undisciplined during childhood, they will outgrew that attitude and will grow up kind and responsible. It is the exact opposite for people who were well disciplined during their childhood. This is just my opinion, as I said, there's no proven formula...

You are right there is no proven formula but however there should be a united front with the parents.
