Discipline Tips (3) - Ronald Morris

…
21. “There can be no effective discipline, without effective supervision”

22. "A child who is never required to behave well, never will"

23. “The supervision of adolescents is supposed to be non-intrusive, not non-existent”

24. “Having the right to do something, doesn’t make it the right thing to do”

25. “Limit children to the choices which are theirs to make”

26. “Great discipline is hard to see; The better it’s done, the more invisible it will be”

27. “The best time to teach a behavior is when it isn’t needed, so it will be there when it is needed”

28. “Underachievement should never be a child’s choice; Making sure children don’t underachieve is an adult’s responsibility”

29. “Punish deliberate misconduct, not innocent mistakes”

30. “Plan how you will elicit good behavior, not how you will respond to poor behavior. It’s always better to plan for success, than to plan for failure”
