DISCIPLINING THE CHILD WITHIN

DISCIPLINING A CHILD IS TEACHING A CHILD BEHAVIOR UNTIL SHE/HE CAN INTERNALLY DO IT THEMSELVES.

Self disciplining is hard. It requires us to make conscious choices and tame the selfish, I WANT IT RIGHT NOW INNER CHILD
When disciplining a child, we set limits and teach appropriate behavior, and set consquences for in appropriate behavior in order for them to function as adults independantly in the real world. Sometimes as adults we forget those lessons and revert back to childish behavior. Getting your way, no matter what the consequences are is bullish and selfish.

Would we let a child eat a bag of cookies because they want to? Dieting is getting a grip on your inner child and doing what has to be done because it is healthier. We can continue to live in the selfish moment or we set limits and restrictions.

CHILDREN CAN BE VERY DISCEPTIVE AND MANIPULATING AND SO CAN OUR INNER THOUGHTS.
