This is excellent advice. Allow me to add a layer here. As a parent, self-discipline is perhaps the most difficult skill to conquer. Yet, how can we expect to effectively discipline and teach discipline to our children if we do not practice it ourselves.

Self-control is a lost art in my opinion. Particularly in cyberspace. We seem to grow an extra-large side of boldness when we're staring into a screen and not a human face. The nastiest parts of us come out to terrorize our prey - it's so out of hand, we've come to expect it. Even a new platform like steemit already has its fair share of people with no self-control.

There has never been a generation that needed to be taught self-discipline more than this one, myself included.
