Yes, discipline is important. And some parents seem to think it isn't necessary. I agree with most of what she says, but I don't think spanking works. And it's too easy for a parent to lose control and beat a child, which is never okay. If kids are forced to face the consequences of their actions, they will think twice about what they are doing. I never 'bailed out' my boys; if they misbehaved, they paid for it. No empty threats here.
