What do you mean by Discipline?

Discipline meaning

Discipline is action or inaction that is regulated to be in accordance (or to achieve accord) with a particular system of governance. Discipline is commonly applied to regulating human and animal behavior. Although new parenting books and child discipline strategies are always surfacing, many 'new' parenting ideas are actually sub-types of the basic five types of discipline. Experts don’t always agree on which type of discipline is best, but it’s clear that there are benefits of each one.

Discipline brings stability and structure into a person's life. ... If there were no discipline, people would do whatever they wanted and make mistakes without putting the consideration of others first and foremost. It promotes good human behavior to better society and make it a more enjoyable place for everyone to live.

5 Different Types of Child Discipline

 Gentle Discipline

 Boundary-Based Discipline

 Behavior Modification

 Emotion Coaching

Definations

1. Positive Discipline: Positive discipline is based on praise and encouragement.   Instead of focusing on punishment, parents keep making discipline about     teaching.

 Parents teach problem solving skills and work with their child to develop   solutions. Positive discipline uses family meetings and an authoritative approach  to addressing behavior problems.

2. Gentle Discipline: Gentle discipline focuses on preventing problems.   Redirection is often used to steer kids away from bad behavior.

 Kids are given consequences, but gentle discipline isn't about instilling shame.   Instead, parents often use humor and distraction. The focus of gentle discipline   is about parents managing their own emotions while addressing a child's   misbehavior.

3. Boundary-Based Discipline: Boundary-based discipline focuses on setting   limits and making the rules clear up front. Kids are then given choices and there   are clear consequences for misbehavior, such as logical consequences or natural   consequences.

4. Behavior Modification: Behavior modification focuses on positive and   negative consequences. Good behavior is reinforced with praise or rewards.   Misbehavior is discouraged through the use of ignoring and negative   consequences, like the loss of privileges.

5. Emotion Coaching: Emotion coaching is a five step discipline process that focuses on teaching kids about feelings. When kids understand their feelings, they can verbalize them rather than act on them. Kids are taught that their feelings are okay and parents help teach them appropriate ways to deal with their emotions.
