What is Positive Discipline?
Positive Discipline is a program designed to teach young people to become responsible, respectful, and resourceful members of their communities. Based on the best-selling "Positive Discipline" books by Dr. Jane Nelsen, it teaches essential social and life skills in a deeply respectful and encouraging manner to both children and adults (including parents, teachers, childcare providers, youth workers, and others).
Recent research tells us that children are “hardwired” from birth to connect with others, and those children who feel a sense of connection to their community, family, and school are less likely to misbehave. To be successful, contributing members of their community, children must learn necessary social and life skills. Positive Discipline is based on the understanding that discipline must be taught and that discipline teaches.
