As a mom of four I am always saying to them, "Fair is not always the same." It's true that each child accepts discipline differently and it's often difficult to find a good balance. I totally agree with Lisa also about teaching (I teach high-school) and we teachers have to try to strike a similar discipline balance, keeping in mind the different personalities and struggles of each of our students.

One more thought…discipline is important and necessary. I think too often parents want to be friends with their children and forget that a parent's job is to teach them how to make decisions and respond/react to the world around them. Sometimes children need to be taught that bad choices have immediate consequences. Just my opinion 🙂

I can relate to everything you said as a parent of two sons (ages 20 and 21) and also as a second grade teacher. Teachers have those same struggles trying to be fair to all children when they all have different needs and temperaments- not mention different learning styles, as well! I enjoyed your post.
