Is it ok to disipline a child and then tell them ...

Of course it is OK to discipline (when I say discipline, I mean scold/reprimand) a child. This is exactly how a child learns what is wrong and right. Once the child understands what he/she has done to be scolded, in a firm voice, tell him/her you want an apology for the behavior and end with an "I love you" and hug and kiss. This re-iterates to the child that although you are scolding him, you do love him and care for him but must be firm about the type of behavior that is and is not acceptable. (This is also the technique that works wonders on the popular and extremely successful television show Super Nanny.)

Yes like mentioned it's OK. I think that the tone of your voice has a serious role in  delivering your message.

Loving discipline is necessary in order for a child to learn boundaries. Even adults receive discipline of some form. Even the Scriptures agree: "True, no discipline seems for the present to be joyous, but grievous; yet afterward to those who have been trained by it it yields peaceable fruit, namely, righteousness". - Hebrews 12:11

after you scold or reprimand your children it's a very good idea to reassure them you love them. Do this after they understand and take responsibility for their actions.

Of course it is okay to discipline your child. That is how they learn the difference between right and wrong. When I was younger my mother would spank me with a wooden spoon which now I don't think is right. I believe you should love with your hands and spank with your hand. Also she would spank me and then hug me and let me know that she loved me and she wasn't spanking me just to spank me there was a reason. You can't just discipline your child and not tell them what they did because they will just keep doing what they are. In the future when your children are grown they will look back and be thankful that my parents cared about me enough to let me know when I was doing the wrong thing. They will also understand as they get older that some of the things they were doing could have made them get hurt. Just make sure to let them know just because you are discipling them doesn't mean you don't love them anymore.
