Effective discipline is like a perfectly balanced scale. On the one hand, you have the parent who has appropriate and realistic expectations of the children, very clear cut rules, they have values in place, they are comfortable with their child and being the parent. They are neither permissive or authoritarian parenting style. They are sort of somewhere in between. On the other hand of this scale, is the child, who is used to the parent being the rule maker. The child engages in appropriate testing of the rules, but it's appropriate. The child sees a lot of consistency. The child understands that there if follow through, and the child sees the values being modeled a lot. So this balance is really a win/win in discipline for both the parent and the child.
