I was not brought up in a really strict household. My parents taught myself and my sisters what was right and wrong. We were not smacked or hit, if we did something that was naughty or we were cheeky we were shouted at and if we did something which was really naughty, we had a severe talking to.

However, some parents just don’t know how to discipline their children. Children need to have boundaries; they must have rules in place to give them structure. This allows the child to know what it good behaviour and what is unacceptable behaviour and it is up to the parent to set these boundaries.
