Discipline and making kids learn its value is one of the most difficult things about being parents. Generally, discipline leads to a strong character in kids.

Parents should set the limits and establish the rules. And when they do, the rules should send a clear message to the kids about personal boundaries. Of course, parents have to hear what their teenagers think about the whole situation. Although parents have an absolute authority, kids have the right to say something. Besides, compromising for a set of rules also makes child-parent relationship even much stronger.

Soldiers, who had worked so much in securing peace in the Fahama region in Iraq, had made a great impact as they focused on rebuilding and helping local citizens with several projects. Soldiers from Company D, 1st Platoon, 4th Infantry Division assisted the local school as they brought many supplies for the schoolchildren as well as their families. Soldiers give out pencils, pens, paper, schoolbags and even stuffed toys and snacks.

Not only the local citizens were delighted about the goodwill, but also, soldiers themselves were just as happy. In fact, the scenes remind them of children back home in the United States.

Such small projects are small steps that gain and build trust as well as promote goodwill between the locals and the coalitions.
