Bravo, Ed - a fine article.

Especially this part:

My 2 cents worth: when you need to discipline, make it quick and
clean; correct the child's behavior and let the punishment (if any)
be immediate and brief.  When it's over, let it be over.  Don't hold a
grudge or pin a lable on a child (e.g. "You always do that.")
