Don't lose sight of family importance

Re: "Defining discipline, teaching someone what is appropriate, what is not," Columns, June 21.

Danielle Aldcorn's article was very well written with clear instructions. Discipline is often misunderstood and we can actually do more damage if it is not done correctly.

Having such a well-thought through and well written article in a family newspaper is a wonderful treat.

I want to cut it out not only for my children who have children, but share it with other mothers.

I feel that whenever we can strengthen the family, then by all means, we should pull out all the stops.

I remember the time I interviewed Pauline Vanier and was so impressed with her.

Georges and Pauline Vanier came to power in 1959, when he became the Governor General of Canada. They lived out the sacrament of marriage and addressed the importance of a good family, and also modelled it.

Thank you for having a columnist who addresses family function.
