Discipline is important for children.

“Discipline” in Japanese is しつけ (shitsuke).

Describes shaping everyday behavior through repeated teaching so that manners and useful habits become natural.

食事の前に手を洗うことも、家庭でのしつけの一つです。shoku ji no mae ni te o ara u ko to mo ka tei de no shi tsu ke no hito tsu de su

Washing your hands before meals is also part of teaching manners at home.

In Japanese, しつけ (shitsuke) often refers to teaching children everyday manners and habits, so it can sound less focused on punishment than English "discipline."
