Discipline
I've never been a very disciplined person. Meaning I didn't have much discipline from my parents as a child, rebelled against the little they tried to provide when I was a teen, and have never really gotten the whole self-discipline thing very well. I am working on it, and I'm now working on providing more concrete, firm discipline for Bella as needed. I practice gentle discipline, I do not believe in spanking. I do think that children require limits and guidance and I am trying to give that to her. For example, she will take my water bottle, drink, and then throw it on the ground and walk off. I'm now finding a way to make her go back, pick it up, give it to me, and wipe up the water she got all over the place.
