  • Differences Between Abuse & Discipline

    Parents need to know the difference between disciplining and abusing a child. It is easy to run afoul of the law if you are not clear on whether your interactions with your child are within safe boundaries. Follow some guidelines to make the difference between discipline and abuse clear, and you will know how to evaluate your own behavior.

  • Child Discipline Vs. Abuse

    The difference between discipline and child abuse is one of the most important things a parent can know. While it is important to set a wayward child right, it is possible to react to misbehavior in a way that is harmful. Discipline is all about teaching children to choose right over wrong in a responsible and loving way, while abuse is about harsh punishment done in a cruel or irresponsible way.
