My kid's comment on Parental discipline

I was putting the kids to bed and chat with them how they feel about discipline from daddy and mummy, like spanking, no TV and other forms of restrain from gratification, and I took the time to explain why we were disciplining them for their good.

The kids obviously did not like the taste of discipline as it was pretty painful when they were terribly naughty.

Nevertheless, I was surprised by my eldest one who concluded her thoughts with this comment: "Dad, please do not stop disciplining us".

I believe all loving parents would want to discipline their kids for their own good, and I believe some how the kids would understand the goodness from discipline as they progress in life.
