EDUCATING CHILDREN TO BE A DISCIPLINE PERSON

Abstract

The golden age is a critical period where parents must provide discipline as an initial foundation for children to be able to apply discipline early on. The formation of this initial discipline will influence and also determine the discipline of children at a later stage of development. Cultivation of discipline needs to start as early as possible starting from within the family, the educational environment, and the community environment. Through discipline, children can learn to behave in a way that is approved by the social environment. Discipline is defined as compliance with regulations or subject to supervision and control as an exercise that aims to develop themselves to behave in an orderly manner. The things that can be done by parents and teachers is by practising the discipline of children routinely and consistently, getting used to behaving by values based on moral standards, and the need for parental control to develop internalized children. Besides, also recognize the age and stage of child development, invite children to talk from heart to heart, apply the consequences they receive when doing an action and finally give praise to the child when it is disciplined.
