Discipline and Punishment

Doctrinal Foundation
"Those who have mastered self-government have disciplined themselves. Likewise, children who have learned self-government have been disciplined. That doesn’t mean their behavior is so strictly enforced by punishment that they are afraid to enjoy life. Discipline is not punishment. Elder Theodore M. Burton said: “There is a tendency to equate the word discipline with the word punish, but there is a difference between these words. In English, at least, the word discipline has the same root as the word disciple. A disciple is a student, to be taught.” (Ensign, Nov. 85, p. 65.) Children become disciples of their parents as they learn to trust their parents’ decisions, admire their integrity, and feel their love. As that happens, children hopefully will adopt their parents’ values and govern themselves according to those values. For this reason, it can be said that children will become disciples when their parents become disciples of Christ. "
(A. Theodore Tuttle, “Therefore I Was Taught,” Ensign, Nov. 1979, 27)
