No discipline feeds anger ...

What if the violence we see in the schools or for that matter anywhere in the world is the lack of discipline or unloving punishment. When rules are thrown out the window, behavior begins to turn dark and ugly. Anger pushes out any love causing self-loathing. Selfish acts are committed from greed all the way to hateful violence. Remember anger is a secondary emotion and comes from loss. Our children have lost the self-discipline that teaches worth and builds their character. So when hurt and pain start attacking their soul, they have no way of climbing
out of this abyss.

Parents must honor loving boundaries in their home. And to supplement this self-discipline, parents need to be vigilant with their own anger as well as their child's. We are missing out on a great opportunity to develop in our child a way to get to the root cause of anger, release it, and hold onto LOVE..
