An internationally-acclaimed author and speaker, Dr. Larry Koenig, traveled from Baton Rouge to present Smart Discipline for parents on the evening of October 25. His presentation was filled with humorous anecdotes and practical information for parents wanting to help their children grow to be happy and successful in school and life.

Dr. Koenig demonstrated Smart Discipline provides children with simple and effective consequences, even as he showed how praise is an essential part of helping children develop into happy and successful adults. His website is filled with many helpful suggestions such as this article on Disciplining the Difficult Child.

School parents who are interested in additional material for improving discipline at home and school may contact the school office which has copies of such publications as Smart Discipline and Making Children Mind Without Losing Yours.

Heb 12:6-8 tells us: "The Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son. Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? If you are not disciplined--and everyone undergoes discipline--then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all."
