Quote by M Scott Peck

Good discipline requires time. When we have no time to give our children, or no time that we are willing to give, we don't even observe them closely enough to become aware of when their need for our disciplinary assistance is expressed subtley.

Good discipline requires time. When we have no time to give

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of giving sufficient time and attention to children in order to provide them with effective discipline. It suggests that without dedicating time to observe and understand our children, we may fail to recognize the often subtle cues they give when they need our guidance and support. By neglecting to allocate time for meaningful interaction, we risk becoming disconnected from their needs and, consequently, being unable to offer them the discipline they require for their development and well-being.
