Three Facts That Governs the Act of Parenting

Balance Expectations with Abilities: A wise parent has to balance expectations with abilities. Punishing a child for what he is incapable of doing is not only wrong but also counterproductive to mature development.

Balance Love and Discipline: These two words work together to love and discipline, love your children and at the same time discipline them strictly. A wise parent who wants to fulfill the act of parenting must balance love and discipline.
It is possible to discipline your children without love but it is not possible to love a child without the discipline that says “I love you too much to let you get away with this: talking back to me rudely”.

Does it make it as important a case of loving your child? Yes, Both are important and both must be balanced.
