		Join in this discussion on our Message Boards about home discipline for school behavior: "I have a 6-yr-old stepson who lives with his mom the majority of the time. We are having issues knowing how to discipline him if he does something wrong at school. Mom takes the approach that the school does the disciplining, and he does not suffer any consequences when he gets home. Dad on the other hand thinks he should also be disciplined when he gets home and will discipline him the next time he has custody -- which could be a day or two after the bad behavior occurred...Are we doing more harm than good?" — mommaM
