South African children are well behaved with manners and respect for older people. <br /><br />Children test boundaries and the parent should set these boundaries.<br /><br />Not having children I can't give any advise. I just know from many friends kids, that those that are brought up in houses with boundaries, discipline and love are much happier and loving children and a pleasure to be with. <br /><br />I am glad for all the hidings I got from my parents and in school! <br /><br />Think to tell a baby "yes" or "no" with the right tone of voice is enough.... You will know when they test their boundaries!Ronel van Zylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202022001289624373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410985627936537274.post-56348412885185051002009-11-04T10:37:17.760+02:002009-11-04T10:37:17.760+02:00http://www.gotquestions.org/disciplining-children....http://www.gotquestions.org/disciplining-children.htmlRonel van Zylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202022001289624373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410985627936537274.post-35733594821658605412009-11-04T09:45:19.999+02:002009-11-04T09:45:19.999+02:00I am trying to think how often I smacked my kids. ...I am trying to think how often I smacked my kids. I think MArinda got smacked when she was little, but as I got more kids I got more chilled! I think I can count smacks on 1 hand. BUT I do believe there should be consequences for bad behaviour (for older kids of course). I am just trying to figure this one out for Arno - whose room is always untidy, and whom I Struggle to get to study. So - what do I do with that? Being a parent is bl..y difficult me thinks. But - I think our kids are GOOD - yours and mine. We are very lucky!Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05386491436087479004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410985627936537274.post-44846433028106102882009-11-04T09:33:13.632+02:002009-11-04T09:33:13.632+02:00I feel there should be discipline.

A child should not be punished for being a child (doing things children do), but a child has to learn that there are consequences to behaviour and wrong decisions. I will slap my baby's hand and say "NO" when he wants to take something that might hurt him, or something he has to learn he's not allowed to take/touch. The slap won't hurt though; it will only be a way to let him realize that he's not allowed to do something. My baby is at the age where he is beginning to test our authority, and I actually find it very cute and funny. I don't want him to become a spoiled brat whom no one will like, so he will get punished, but only when he does something he already knows is not allowed. I think the woman who was fired didn't want to punish anyone, but did it out of frustration. I think she didn't have any self-control, which is a pity as now she lost her job and her dignity and probably did some damage to some child's personality.L Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00135124229026207837noreply@blogger.com
