So they will hopefully grow up to be mature, responsible,
and "self-disciplined" people themselves, and feel that "same" importance of raising "their" children with
discipline also. It's a cycle of part of the love you have for your children, and totally necessary. Good luck

the important of discipline for children if it is done correctly is so that that child may grow up to be an individual that has moral and knows right from wrong, and for their safety. the children of the world are the future and they can take lessons that we instill in them that are good or they can take the ones that are bad with them when you discipline them the correct way and i am not speaking of beating a child you teach them that when they do bad things that there is a price to pay just like as today with adults that break the law they are sent to prison so this teaches a child to think about their actions and consider if it is the wrong thing to do is it worth the punishment they will receive but like if you give abusive punishment than that child will take that with them if you discipline that child with love then they will take love with them and that will go to the generations beyond us

Discipline gives the kids some structure in their lives. Kids need this structure. It makes them feel safe as they know what they can and cannot do. What is expected and what is not. Without that structure, they have no boundaries which is like a ship without a destination. Somewhat like walking in the dark. Nowadays people confuse discipline with abuse. You do not have to abuse a child in order to discipline them. Simply teach them what is expected of them so they can become productive members of society.

Predictability. Children of all ages need predictability. They have so little control of their lives, that it's important for them to know what's coming.
A connection of action -> consequence is realized. My one year old knows that when I take her outside she can run, touch, smell etc but if she puts anything in her mouth we go back home. Does she keep doing it? Yes every now and then. But at the same time she knows what's coming and why. Discipline does not mean beating your child or yelling at them, just rules that have predictable consequences for breaking them.
People think that children want to do whatever they want but they need and want our guidance. Structure makes them feel more protected.
I've read in one of the parenting magazines not too long ado that the current generation lacks self control and that's why we are so unhappy - all out lives teachers, parents etc tell us how wonderful we are, but out in the real world people don't treat you the same way. So although we send a positive message to our kids that they are great, we forget to teach them self control and that's where addictions, depressions, inability to handle things in life etc come from.

The importance of discipline is to keep them to become adults as a better person, so they will know what is right from wrong, to become well adjusted kids, for them to carry it on to their kids, overall to learn self discipline.
