4. Insist on happy compliance
- If your child is not happy when you correct them, discipline is needed
- If your child will not comply when you speak to them, discipline is needed
- If you cannot take them to an event because they won’t behave, discipline is needed
- If this is an exception, then you are on the right path
- If this is the norm, then you are not

- If you practice replacement parenting, they will not learn to have self-denial and self-control
