I love it! "Discipline" is a strong word and I think it often conjures up negative thoughts. But I think there are very positive ways to discipline - or maybe a word that is easier for people to accept would be intervene. The key is for the active parent to stay very calm and as neutral as possible. I don't think it is appropriate to lose your cool or yell or spank or anything like that with another child (I don't think it's appropriate to do any of those things with your own child). But to use your words (as we teach our children to do) and to just say "that's not o.k." or something along those lines is perfectly acceptable in my book. And if the tables were turned I would have NO problem with someone using that approach with my child. This is my first time on your website here and this is the first article that I read.
