Discipline guides a child like a steering wheel guides a car,

When a child does not adhere to your rules ,he or she can only go so far.

The word discipline can mean to guide or teach,

A moral training to provide good goals to reach.

 

In recent decades discipline has become more rare,

Always commend children for their obedience and care.

A deliberate disobedience a child must not be allowed to flout,

Whilst minor mistakes or irritations must just be pointed out.

 

Train a child in the way he or she should go,

As they grow old they will not depart from what you did sow.

Ethical values are essential such as saying "please" and "thank you "

As is giving way to an elderly or disabled person in a queue.

 

Assign chores to children to help them learn the value of helping others,

Providing a firm foundation for their future roles as fathers and mothers.

As parents we must guide our children in the right way,

Our children are like sponges that absorb everything we do and say.

 

"Obeying our parents is like paying a debt off at the bank,

For the discipline and love of my parents I sincerely thank."
