Transcription: 
Effective discipline is practiced through the use of consequences. It is not about physical punishment. It is not about shaming. It is not about name calling. Obviously those would not create a sense that the child is okay and competent. However, discipline becomes very important and the world operates on consequences. Consequences means if you do behavior A, there will be a consequence. If you do not eat, you will be hungry and you will not have anything to eat until the next time food is being served. If you violate the curfew, you will lose the privilege of going to the parties the next weekend. So the most effective method of discipline is for parents to set the rules. Let the child know what the consequences are and then, when the rules get broken, the child has to accept responsibility for the behavior. It’s not that mom was in a bad mood or dad was in a bad mood, but by using consequences you do not only create the sense of, “I have to be in control and I have to be responsible,” but you define the limits of acceptable behavior in the most productive manner.
