Discipline provides a

self discipline were children accept responsibility for their own
actions. This means providing an environment where children have
the opportunity to make decisions and choices. Appropriate
behaviours are recognised and celebrated and inappropriate
behaviours are handled sensitively using a knowledgeable structured
approach.
