How would you discipline your offspring?

when my kids were little, I disciplined them with love, I respected them as children, we lost our little girl when she was eight, I used time outs, standing in the corner, and taking away privledges but my son was actually a pretty well behaved child. I never did spank them, a swat on the seat but not a spanking as I do not believe violent spanking and beating does any thing good for a child.respect a child as a young human being then when they are older they will respect you as their parents.

As a mother I always wanted to give my daughter the kind of discipline that will hone her character as a good person and refined woman but never naive.Though I believe there are variety of ways to discipline an every child for they possess a unique kind of personality.So discipline is a matter of learning process also for the parents.

Hello Crystal. Some people think discipline and punishment are the same thing, but they aren't. Discipline is more related to "teaching." And the best way to discipline a child is with love and example.:)
