How do you explain to your almost pre school kid (4 yrs old going 5) what "discipline" & why we, as a parent, need to discipline them?

Hi Mommy Glizelle, I think your child is already under pre-school age since he or she is already turning 5 years old. Anyway what I do is that I tell my kids that discipline is needed to teach child what are acceptable and unacceptable behaviors. We as parents need to discipline our kids to keep them safe and for them to get along with other people, may it be a playmate or an adult. If he or she knows how to follow rules, he or she will have a good sense of self-control which will lead to him or her making wise decisions in the future.
