You’ve got to take direction! You’ve got to have discipline!

by Ben, The CND Intern

Raising kids under ideal circumstances would be hard enough, take a parent out of the picture and it's not pretty, at least not without help and good advice.

I don't think anyone likes to be disciplined, but you cant be good at things without correction. 

Recently I came across an article from a website called "The Spruce" most of their articles might seem more suited to Better Homes and Gardens, however, this article is very helpful for parents who need help with disciplining their children. 

Information in this article expands on how to set rules, give praise, set boundaries and punish effectively. 

Maybe now you can find time to study for those finals!

Here are some tips from CAL POLY:
