The Fifth Discipline

Benjamin Franklin believed that every person can become more wealthy, healthy, and wise through hard work and self discipline. I believe in his belief because it doesn’t matter how difficult or easy it is to accomplish a goal; at the end of the day, what counts is the satisfaction of the work and experience a person puts into it. Franklin didn’t favor luck or opportunities, but instead became successful through hard work. Franklin was many things such as an author, inventor, scientist, and a…

Silence and solitude are two of the most overlooked spiritual disciplines, but they are two of the most beneficial disciplines in a Christian’s life. Donald S. Whitney defines these two practices in his book “Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life” as follow: “The Discipline of silence is the voluntary and temporary abstention from speaking so that a certain spiritual goals might be sought,” and “Solitude is the spiritual discipline of voluntarily and temporarily withdrawing to privacy for…

Spiritual disciplines are something that take a lot of work, they are things that don’t always come easy, and they often require practice to develop. As a believer, it is easy to just assume the role of a mediocre Christian who often overlooks spiritual growth, thinking that going to church every Sunday is enough to effectively grow in ones walk with Christ. Through study, it becomes obvious that Sunday Christianity is not enough, it takes work as a Christian to truly change and grow, and to…

The reason why is because a lot of people think that kids don’t need discipline and think it’s a waste of their “precious” time. Now who’s fault is it really that kids are this way now. Should the blame go to the parents? Or should it all go to the child who made those choices? These questions can’t really be…

I have also learned that this information could be different from what I may have known discipline to be as a child to what is in my household and culture along with how it is viewed in my profession.

hence the kids were put under the custody of their grandmother. Conscious that spanking was a common disciplinary practice with majority of Americans parents, Spear and many others were confused. Psychologies have come up with a different way of discipline, since studies have proven that spanking children damages their overall well-being. Gershoff and Grogan-Kaylor made a study with children who were spank and those that were not spank.…

Corporal punishment as explained by Frechette, Zoratti, and Romano (2015) is a form of discipline often defined as the “use of physical force with the intention of causing a child to experience pain, but not injury, for the purposes of correction or control of the child’s behavior.” (p.135) Corporal punishment techniques (spanking) have existed for many years and has been a permanent form of discipline when dealing with children.
