Gentle:
Considerate or kindly in disposition; amiable and tender.
Not harsh or severe; mild and soft: a gentle scolding; a gentle tapping at the window.
Discipline:
Training expected to produce a specific character or pattern of behavior, especially training that produces moral or mental improvement.
Controlled behavior resulting from disciplinary training; self-control.
Control obtained by enforcing compliance or order.
A systematic method to obtain obedience: a military discipline.
A state of order based on submission to rules and authority: a teacher who demanded discipline in the classroom.
Punishment intended to correct or train.
A set of rules or methods, as those regulating the practice of a church or monastic order.
A branch of knowledge or teaching.
Those are the definitions of the words from dictionary.com. However I was wondering what the words mean to you? I have seen many people talking on here about many forms of GD. I was wondering if you had the oppourtunity to sum it up in one paragraph. 5 sentances. Could you describe what GD means to the upbringing of your children? How you interact with them?
You don't have to limit yourself to 5 sentances, but that is about the number I have in my head for it.
Please this is not a 'debate' thread. This is a personal opinion thread. Don't argue with what someone else has said, I just want to get a feeling for what different people think GD is to them. Personally. And to you too. Personally.
Thanks in advance:thumb
