Discipline and then some | 2011

One of the difficult things that a parent has to do is striking a balance in providing guidance and discipline. Not many will be able to grasp that there is a fine line between these two. And going overboard may very well imprint an irreversible impression on your child in the future.


But then, how do you define that line? Who has the right to define that line? Is there a template or a guideline for this? 

For me, these are all variables at the moment. We are prodding along as best as we can. That doesn't mean that we don't care enough about rules and laws. What we do though, is we define that line as we prod along. We realized that you can have rules that should not be broken. But at the same time, there should be enough in there to flex these rules. It's more about compromise and keeping everybody happily in check.
