“Parents who are afraid to put their foot down usually have children who step on their toes”
Chinese Proverb
Is it hard to discipline your children? I admit it's sometimes hard for me. The reactions of a child can be so dramatic and heartbreaking for a parent.
Although it's hard, it is part of a parent's job to discipline their children. Staying strong and consistent is tough but when you consider the consequences implied in the proverb above, it reminds me that discipline is part of loving your child - albeit a not so fun part of loving your child. Think about it like this, changing poop filled diapers isn't fun either but it is also a necessity.
