Working to make this enormous topic of discipline manageable, Fireborn continues its series on discipline by talking about the general rules (guidelines for parents) of discipline: 

• Remain calm and don't yell,
• Provide an explanation of why the behavior is not okay,
• Give a warning and time to process, if you can,
• The consequence needs to make sense and be fair,
• Follow through with your consequences,
• Return to your warm relationship, and
• Always focus discipline on the behavior, not about your child being bad or naughty in general.
