Philosophy of Discipline. Discipline is training that is expected to produce a specific character or pattern of behavior; it is training that produces moral or mental improvement. Punishment is a penalty imposed for wrongdoing. Many educators sometimes forget the difference between the two concepts.
Conscious Discipline, a research-based discipline approach, can teach parents and children to: 1  Set and achieve goals together... despite obstacles. 2  Manage emotions instead of acting out. 3  Set personal boundaries to encourage mutual respect.  Resolve conflict in a way that creates closer relationships.
