What is a short-term goal of discipline?.

A short-term goal of discipline is to manage a child's behavior. Given that your other options are make a child pay for his or her behavior, teach a child self-discipline, and all of the above, the obvious answer is to manage their behavior. This is because making a child pay for his or her behavior is not really a thing that a parent should ever do if they love their child. Teach a child self-discipline is a long-term goal, because then the child will be disciplined for the rest of their life. Thus, the last option is also eliminated, leaving us with the first option as the correct answer.
