Avoiding Discipline

The absence of consistent discipline will not make up for the loss of our abandoned male figure. I have to be conscious and consistent to discipline my kids (in an age appropriate manner based on their personality differences). Why? Because in the long run their character is what matters. Their character will be shaped by the values I instill in them NOW. I can’t skip over discipline and just hope they’ll turn out to be decent human beings.
