Ralph Waldo Emerson once observed, "Our chief want in life is
somebody who will make us do what we can." Although children doubtless
do not recognize it at the time, they crave discipline, particularly
during their formative years. Discipline defines boundaries for them,
provides security, and is an active expression of a parent’s love. Most
important, it prepares them for the challenges of adulthood.
If your childhood was less than perfect, you are in good company. Most
of us have experienced difficulties at one time or another, and we all
make mistakes from time to time. The good news is that while your
environment as a child will have a profound influence upon the person
you become, it is not the sole determinant. The person you choose to be
is entirely up to you. Only you can decide who and what you will become
in life.
