Positive Discipline

A classic guide to help children develop self-discipline, cooperation and problem-solving skills.

THE KEY TO POSITIVE DISCIPLINE IS MUTUAL RESPECT, NOT PUNISHMENT

All parents try to do their best, but good intentions may not always yield the best results. An experienced psychologist, educator and mother, Dr. Jane Nelsen argues that children misbehave when they feel that their needs to belong, to be loved, and to be taken into consideration are not met. With an authoritarian approach, “Because I say so!” Saying things like this will only lead to more rebellious behavior. Instead, parents need basic principles that will bring their children closer to them, namely Positive Discipline.

Dr. Nelsen states that parents who use a tough approach to teaching life skills will encourage self-esteem, self-discipline, cooperation, good behavior and problem-solving skills in their children. Updated and renewed for today, the Positive Discipline book shows us, parents and teachers, exactly how the program works and answers questions such as:

• What works better than punishment when teaching children positive, good behavior?
• What mistakes do most parents make “in the name of love”?
• How can parents turn their mistakes into profits?
• Why can rewarding be dangerous?
• What are the dangers of trying to be a “Super Mom”?
• How can teachers avoid discipline problems in the classroom?

“As a parent and psychotherapist, I think Positive Discipline contains very valuable, wise and practical information. It creates a win-win environment for parents and their children. It is very easy to learn the techniques it offers, and it is equally fun to apply them... Anyone who acts in accordance with these concepts will see almost instant results and see big smiles on their children's faces.”
Katherine Dusay, psychotherapist
