Discipline plays a role in teaching the child what's wrong and right in the world, and it helps the child interact with the public in an effective and safe manner.
Some forms of discipline that best serve the self-esteem of the child are emotion coaching and boundary-based discipline. Emotion coaching is a process that involves teaching the child which emotions are which, and helps them self-identify if they angry, mad, or sad. Boundary-based discipline is discipline that is explicitly stated for the child to follow, where the consequences for each action the child makes are clearly stated so that they will learn what is wrong and what is right.
