Old School Discipline

While I was volunteering last week, speaking to a group of individuals about their medications, Lloyd was left to parent. The kids were pretty riled up when I left, but I came home to find that he had everything under control. It’s amazing what a little old school discipline can do to reset the peace equilibrium in our home. Harrison had to write some apology letters to various neighbors plus “I have learned tonight to obey” 100 times, while Grayson wrote 50 times, “I will obey and be happy”. When I was talking to Harrison before bedtime he said, “Mom, I’m not sure that was discipline. It seemed like handwriting practice to me!” Regardless of what it was, I must say that it was quite effective. All we’ve had to do is mention pen and paper and they are quick to comply to our parental requests. Anyone need Lloyd to step in at your house?
