Discipline today looks very different from what it did years ago.  As parents, especially first timers, you want to do things “the right way”. But the first rule about child rearing is there is not one single “right way” to do anything.  Discipline should be as unique as your child because life is not a one size fits all situation.  With that said, parents typically encounter very similar situations that require discipline in one way or another.  While the following tips and tricks to discipline may not work for your child, parenting is all about learning what works for you and your family.  You may need to use a hybrid of techniques to get through to your child, and that’s okay!
