With regards to the balancing of mental health and discipline, they don’t always have to be either one or the other. In fact, they can be done together! This of course depends on the definition of “discipline”. Punishments are not the only form of discipline, and punishments have been shown to not always be effective. Setting limits, and supporting your child through their disappointments (even with the limits you set) can be more effective to help your child learn better ways to get what they want, which can also help build resilience. Additionally, as a parent, you can also seek support from a professional to help you learn skills to more effectively connect and set limits with your child.
