Definitions Discipline Everything used to help children learn
personal responsibility. Children ultimately learn to understand
right and wrong for themselves (Fields, Perry & Fields, 2010).
Behavior Guidance is a process when all children learn to control
and direct their behavior. Through the process children become
independent and self-reliant (Morrison, 2011). Punishment is a
method that usually involves corporal punishment, shaming, scolding
or withholding food. Punishment can be both physical and/or
emotional (Hearron & Hilbebrand, 2009).
