Teaching Self DisciplineGuiding BehaviorTeaching Character to Preschoolers Different character qualities can be emphasized at different developmental stages.
Two character qualities, in particular, become a focus in the parent/child relationship: Self-discipline and responsiveness to authority.
Children resist these attempts to help them learn to give up their agenda, but that's what self-discipline is all about.
When we go into a store, we have the "No Touch Rule." When in a library or bank, we may use the "Don't be Wild Rule." When you first teach rules like these, start by making them fun.
