Our ferocious commitment to our children's safety and success, along with our genuine love, drives us to endure the often unhappy experience of disciplining our children.

About This Quote

The idea that discipline must come from a place of love is a difficult one for parents to grasp. Discipline that comes from a place of love will be gentle and kind, while discipline that comes from a place of fear will be strict and harsh. A parent’s goal is to make sure their child learns from the experience of being disciplined. The goal is not to make children hate you or want to be in a bad mood or even in a tantrum.
