Disciplining
is all about your knack at striking that balance between autocracy and
permissiveness with your child. Children need to get the right message so that
they learn the right behaviors. Everyone needs to have these limits set for themselves so they
find direction towards the goals they need to accomplish. The younger your
child, lesser the self-understanding of boundaries, and more defined should be the limits that you set for them. You love your children (everyone usually does) and the virtues you instill in them come with some level of control and authority; levels of which you have to determine as per your own preferences. Boundaries provide security for a child whose exploratory disposition leads her
to explore, but her inexperience may lead her astray. You are the guiding light who knows it all and can direct her.
