About The Book

Raising kids in today’s world can feel like a constant battle against distractions. In "Unlocking Discipline: Parents' Secrets to Building Strong, Happy, and Successful Kids," Master Colby Winkler—an experienced martial artist and teacher—shares practical advice on how parents can instill discipline and focus on their children. Drawing from his years of experience working with kids, Winkler shows how these skills are essential to setting them up for success in life.

Discipline isn’t about enforcing rules. It’s about helping kids learn self-control, manage their emotions, and follow through on their goals. Winkler highlights the importance of setting clear expectations and being consistent. When kids know what’s expected, they feel more confident. For example, instead of saying “Don’t run inside,” try saying, “Please walk when we’re indoors.” That gives kids a clear idea of what you want from them.

Winkler emphasizes the power of positive reinforcement. Rewarding effort, not just results, keeps kids motivated, even when things get tough. Praise specific actions, like, “I’m proud of how you shared your toys,” which helps kids feel good about their behavior and more likely to repeat it.
