Hi Lori
What a wonderful way to bring home the truth about parenting – you've got be an example, everyday. Children observe and emulate every move – even if they don't comment on it. Knowing that we respect and love our children enough to stick by the boundaries, inculcates a sense of responsibility that wont come by any other way.
Thank you for sharing this.
Cheers

“I throw their game back in their face, sometimes rather hard.”

True. To deal with the Eddie Haskell in my little boy, it’s just what helps him exorcise him out! Then, my little Beaver, comes out to play.

Hi Marilyn,
Love this in your comment: “Discipline has nothing to do with punishment; discipline is teaching our children to have a dream and to stick to a plan on getting them to come true.”

Thanks for this share, I love the comparison, one of my KidBits from my book KidBits:Inspiration for Parents talks about the difference between discipline and punishment and this example is perfect. The related Kidbits are
“Parenting is a creative process, punishment is a lack of creativity” and “Discipline has nothing to do with punishment, discipline is teaching our children to have a dream and to stick to a plan on getting them to come true”

This comparison makes it so clear , Martial arts is a perfect way to teach kids self discipline that they take into life. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration.

Hi Lori,

I LOVE the parallel you’ve drawn between parenting and the principles of black belt thinking. I really enjoyed reading the post the first time, and really enjoyed reading it the second time out loud to Cindy. Thank you for adding to the archives of Writer Dad. I love the book and love the post!
