Role of discipline in a child’s development

“Proper discipline leads to self- motivation, self-control and emotional stability”

Disciplined citizens are the need of every nation. That is why teaching discipline is crucial in a child’s development. In fact, it is more significant than the academic grades of the child. It isn’t necessary that high grades promise a better life for a child but discipline either directly or indirectly leads to a successful life with minimal chances of failures.

Here are some ways discipline is important for a child’s development:

Discipline teaches how to make good choices

In today’s time, children easily get attracted towards the wrong path. So, discipline is necessary to direct the students. If schools create an environment that teaches discipline to the children, then the students will always choose the right path. A disciplined environment can make the student a better person and help to make a well-informed decision.

Discipline teaches to manage emotions

When a child is brought up in such a way that he knows how to react to different situations, then he/she becomes emotionally stronger. In schools, it’s the duty of the teachers as well as the administration to make the students understand how to control their emotions such as anger, hatred, frustration, etc and never harm anyone from their actions.

It facilitates a strong bond with family and friends

Disciplined children know how to respect others. This creates a strong bond between the child and his/her friends, relatives and family members. A disciplined child always takes care of his/her actions and considers the consequences of every action.

It helps to achieve life goals by ignoring distractions

Discipline instills self-control in the children. So, they know how to perform their work without getting distracted from any obstacles in their path.

It helps in getting appreciation in the society

A disciplined individual gets respects from others. A well mannered and well-dressed person with a full positive attitude is respected by all.

Thus, discipline creates a well-balanced individual and it is the role of school to instill discipline in the students. If a school gives full attention to the disciplinary actions, then naturally the student will turn into a responsible and sensible adult. At MIT Vishwashanti Gurukul, we have discipline in our core.
