Parents use a variety of discipline methods, with varying degrees of success. But the goal is the same: obedient, safe children who can internalize right from wrong. Experts say that no matter children's age, development, or behavior, the key to disciplining them is understanding their heart and finding out what makes them "tick."

When children realize that God, their environment, and the people around them are trustworthy, they feel secure, hopeful, and optimistic.
