I have a good friend who took the approach of limited discipline for the 2 children who are in the same grade as my oldest 2.Father is a pediatrician,mom is stay at home who reads parenting books.Those to kids are now teens and are certainly kids that anybody would be proud of. Another example of there being more than one way to skin a cat.I have always taken a more proactive and heavyhanded approach to discipline with my kids.Teachers,parents etc. always commenting how well-mannered and polite my children are. Unfortunately I have some regrets regarding parenting like most of us.If my kids were disruptive at a restaurant(they would never dare) I would simply cease taking them out to eat.As for fishing;when I go out on the boat and my buddy wants his kid to join us, I say this is a Dad trip.End of story.
