WHAT IS POSITIVE DISCIPLINE ?

Jul 3

Written By Dr. Lisa

The Five Components of Positive Discipline are:

Helping children feel a sense of connection (belonging and significance);
Being kind and firm at the same time (respectful and encouraging);
Long-term effectiveness (punishment may “work” in the short term, but has negative long-term results);
Teaching valuable social and life skills for good character (respect, concern for others, problem-solving, cooperation, contribution);
Inviting children to discover how capable they are and to use their personal power in constructive ways.
