Thursday’s essay is called, “Children must be taught discipline, but it is a slowly evolving process.” Whenever I think of discipline, it makes me think back to the way I was disciplined in the family in which I grew up. This essay brought back those memories in stark relief. It also discusses four universal truths regarding discipline.

Thursday's And Then Some Essay preview:
Children must be taught discipline, but it is a slowly evolving process
by Richard L. Weaver II
Excerpt:
Having experienced a form of discipline in my own home, having raised four children myself (along with my wife, of course), and now watching my children discipline their own children, doesn’t make me an expert; however, there are four universal truths parents need to follow. First, parents must be consistent with the rules of behavior, or they will confuse their children. They need to clearly explain the preferred behavior so that children will understand precisely what they expect of them: set routines for bedtime, meals, and chores. Routines help children feel safe, because they know what parents expect.
