Here are four helpful principles to remember:1. Discipline must be firm, fair, and consistent.
2. A parent must know where his or her children are and what they're doing at all times, and be with them as much as possible.
3. Children need to see love demonstrated between the father and mother, and see genuine love lived out before them.
4. A family must be cohesive, regularly spending time together.
