Publisher's summary

If you ask a parent in the midst of a temper tantrum with a three-year-old, or after an argument with a teen, they’d say that parenting is the toughest job in the world. Yet, unlike other jobs, there’s no perfect manual that helps you be an ideal parent raising ideal kids. That is because there is no perfect way to raise kids. If one of your kids is easy, the next may just about test your patience every day. That is why it is the toughest job. This book will be the answer to your prayers.

As parents, we are constantly looking for ways and means to make parenting as pleasant and successful as possible. Successful parenting is accepting the fact that we are all learning. We learn from our children, and we learn from our experiences. A successful parent finds disciplining effortless. When your kids are disciplined, parenting becomes the most rewarding job in the world!

Why is so much written and discussed about discipline? How important is it in a child’s life? Well, the word "discipline" has many definitions. Generally speaking, it refers to how well a behavior follows a set of rules or orders. Discipline, therefore, is more of an umbrella term that covers various behaviors. What is the importance of discipline in our lives?

Many parents delay or avoid disciplining their children, because they feel that enforcing discipline early in life will be tough on a child and make parents seem like villains in the eyes of the child. Nothing is farther from the truth. All children benefit from a disciplined life. A life without discipline is like a rudderless boat. There is no direction or control over one’s life.

  • Discipline develops a built-in resistance to a lot of negativity in life. It helps children manage anxiety and stress, as they are helped by an adult to manage their decisions. This helps keep anxiety at bay, and they can have a happy childhood.
  • Discipline helps them make good choices. They learn to face the consequences of their behavior.
