1. Discipline is good for kids and kids actually WANT to be
disciplined cos most are at the age where they are testing their
boundaries and discipline is the process of marking out where their
boundaries should be when they gently push against it. It's a
guideline for them during the time of growing up which can act as
safety net as they try to gain independence.
2. Discipline doesn't have to be physical, cruel, or abusive. It
does, however, have to be firm, consistent and fair.
3. Parents often fail to see the impact they can have on their
child's life. I have seen it demonstrated so often it is like a
moot point that EVERYONE knows, but a lot of parents simply don't
do it at the cost of the kids' future. I think it has to do with
the lack of time they can spend with their kids, thus they don't
want to be seen as the 'bad guy'.
One father even begged me to please be fierce and cane his kid if I
need to cos "u know la, we face each other at home. If I cane him,
I see him crying and he hates me I also dont know what to do. You
don't need to go through that so please be strict with him"
Sigh I hope by the time I have kids... I won't make the same
mistake 
but it is
difficult...
