Warch slipped into eduspeak, juju, I could feel my eyes rolling into the back of my head, as my head bounced off the keyboard.

One thing that is very difficult for parents is consistency. When you are in a foul mood the rules and punishments have to be the same as when you have a bluebird on your shoulder. Kids shouldn't have to spend their time figuring out what your mood and rules are. Hmm.. we might want to extend that to broader society. Keep the rules simple and enforceable. There are a lot of books on discipline out there, with many good ideas. The main thing is that discipline has to reflect the way you and your partner naturally are together, you can't just adopt someone elses style wholesale. Its difficult at first but if you work at it and talk about it it becomes natural and loving and the childs sense of well-being is maximized.
