Discipline by cooperation

"Parents should have at least as much patience and self control as they expect from preschoolers and teenagers," Carla Marie Boulianne wrote in their article.

Discipline works by cooperation. Natural consequences and a sense of fairness are our tools. I negotiate with my 10 year old. We can't make a 10 year old do things by force - but we can provide so many services that our bargaining power is huge!
