How do you
deal with
misbehavior?
Let’s find out!

4.
“Children now love luxury, they have bad
manners, contempt for authority, they show
disrespect for their elders, and they love
chatter in the place of exercise. Children are
now tyrants, not the servants of their
households. They no longer rise when elders
enter the room. They contradict their parents,
chatter before company, gobble up dainties at
the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize over
their teachers.”
ThePast
This statement was made by Socrates, an
Athenian philosopher who lived from 469-399 BC.

Keep in mind and heart
As a result of UN Secretary
General’s Study on Violence against
Children (UNGA Resolution 57/190)
that is rooted in children’s human
right to protection from all forms of
violence, a call for a POSITIVE
DISCIPLINE is widely-encouraged.
Remember that once we were
children, too!
