Love = Discipline ?

Leianne has reached the age whereby she is beginning to exert her will, and test her limits with us. Her way to show her discontentment is screaming and rolling on the floor, which is unacceptable in the Chan family.

We still have not used the cane on her yet until she reaches the age of maybe 2 or 2.5.. so the only method now is the put her in her cot, without her usual soft toys behind close door when she starts to throw her tantrums. Well, it works... after about 5 minutes, she will cool down and we will bring her out to resume her normal activity...

When we visited Ben and Glen yesterday, there was a comment that even though I'm the one who discipline her more often nowsadays, she is still very close to me.... which is a very interesting behaviour. Maybe a child understands the biblical principles that love = discipline more than those who are grown ups?
