What do parents of preschool children need to understand about discipline?

a. Both parents and the child should agree on the method of discipline.
b. Discipline should involve some physical restriction.
c. The method of discipline should be consistent with the discipline methods of the child's peers.
d. Discipline should include positive reinforcement of desired behaviors.


D
Effective discipline strategies should involve a comprehensive approach that includes consideration of the parent–child relationship, reinforcement of desired behaviors, and consequences for negative behaviors. Discipline does not need to be agreed on by the child. Both parents should be in agreement so the discipline is consistently applied. Discipline does not necessarily need to include physical restriction and does not need to be consistent with that of the child's peers.
