You see that discipline is use to change an undesired behavior while nagging is used as a relief for ones own built up emotions. Discipline is a caring and loving aspect of parenting that we as a society have turned into an ugliness based on TV/ media feeling that push the “self satisfaction at everyone’s else’s expense” idea is acceptable. Think back to when you received discipline, was it done in malice or in love, was it to harm or protect, was it done to humiliate or to educate? Only after years do we appreciate the discipline and lessons learned from it and clear the blurred vision of our youth. So remember that when you give discipline (your love, protection, and lessons) it needs to be administered with Gods ideas in your heart. If you do this you will find that you will not nag as much as well. Hows this for my first Blog ?
