Honesty and moral behaviour, discipline  

# data[].attributes.body
School age children range from 6-12. at this age they are prone to lie, cheat and steal thus it is important to implement disciplinary actions and teach and reenforce the golden rule. for example teach them how to be honest and have empathy for others. at this age they are fond of rituals so it is important to not switch up the actions you chose to implement because it will turn out to be ineffective. There is a difference between discipline and punishment. Discipline the practice of training people to obey rules or code of behaviour. punishment is a rough treatment or handling inflicted on or suffered by a person or thing. Some punishments can be detrimental to the child's emotional well-being thus training them to do things like taking out the garbage or doing chores should be a disciplinary action that includes repetition.
