Principles of Child Discipline

I TRY to make the child fully understand why he is punished; to punish when perfectly cool myself; to fit the punishment to the offense, and to vary its form as often as possible. And I try to treat my children as courteously as I expect them to treat me.
I have always taught them to come to me with any question which puzzles them, and as far as possible, I answer them. But I am not afraid to say, sometimes, “I do not know,” and at other times, “When you are older, I will tell you that.”—The Interior.
