​​​​​​​What is Positive Discipline?

​​

Positive Discipline is a model based on Adlerian Psychology. It can be used by parents, teachers, couples, and business and community leaders to learn to create responsible, respectful, and resourceful relationships in their communities. Based on the bestselling Positive Discipline books by Jane Nelsen, Lynn Lott, and co-authors, this model can be applied to both children and adults to become contributing members of their communities.


​​​​​​​​​​​The premise of this model is to help people find a sense of belonging and significance by FIVE CRITERIA:

  • Helps children feel a sense of connection. (Belonging and significance)Is mutually respectful and encouraging. (Kind and firm at the same time).
  • Is effective long-term. (Considers what the child is thinking, feeling, learning, and deciding about himself and his world – and what to do in the future to survive or to thrive).
  • Teaches important social and life skills. (Respect, concern for others, problem-solving, communication, and cooperation as well as the skills to contribute to the home, school, or larger community).
  • ​Invites children to discover how capable they are. (Encourages the constructive use of personal power and autonomy).
