Ugh...

I am a firm believer in kids having discipline, and being aware that their actions have consequences. That the severity of their actions depict what the severity of the discipline will be. It can be frustrating and confusing though when other factors in their lifes contradict the lessons we are trying to teach them.
When discipline is handed out carelessly and without thought, it really undoes all the good that you have tried to uphold in your children's life. To have one disciplinary action that covers a wide range of actions from minor to major is not in my opinion the right way to teach these lessons.
When you as an adult cannot understand why these issues are dealt with like this then imagine how the child feels.
We want our kids to grow into smart caring adults, then lets start treating them with the same consideration that we would adults....
