How do I know if my discipline is too much, if I am being too harsh? - Discipline - TouchPoints

How do I know if my discipline is too much, if I am being too harsh?

Colossians 3:21Fathers, do not aggravate your children, or they will become discouraged.

Ephesians 6:4Do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them.

Misdirected discipline will create undesirable behavior. To discipline harshly may produce a harsh response. A child may rebel or may simply give up.
