Discipline: The Key to Life and Learning Besides parents, other influential people could be grandparents, older siblings, family friends, neighbors, Sunday School teachers, or pastors. Hopefully, these people share your values and help form the values of your children. Friends also influence the way your children will act. Unfortunately, this is an area that is hard for parents to control. Young boys and girls like to choose their own friends, and sometimes the friends they like the most are the ones that you approve of the least. Still, we can try to guide our children in the right direction. School teachers almost always try to help their students find self-discipline. The success of the teacher's approach depends on the rapport the teacher has with the student. Some students never "warm up" to the teacher, no matter how hard the teacher tries. One school of thought regarding discipline is that if the teacher can make the student like him, then the student will behave and learn. This works sometimes, but it can be difficult sometimes, too! So, parents, we teachers need your help! Please be sure to mention the importance of education when you are talking with your children. Show respect for teachers. If you have a difference of opinion from your child's teacher, try not to get your child involved. Go to meetings with teachers and send them notes. Be positive and supportive. It will help your child be successful in life, and teachers will be grateful! Look for future installments on this subject on this site.
