Practical, Pain-Free Tools for Respectful, Connected, and Effective Parenting

🌟 What is Positive Discipline?

Positive Discipline is a research-based, internationally recognized parenting program that has been the Gold Standard in Parent Education for over 40 years. Based on the 16 best-selling Positive Discipline books by Dr. Jane Nelsen with others.
 

It teaches parents how to be both kind and firm, helping children develop:
• Respect for themselves and others
• Responsibility and independence
• Problem-solving and social skills
• A sense of belonging and significance
 

💡 At the heart of Positive Discipline is the belief that:
“People, including children, do better when they feel better. A misbehaving child is a discouraged child.” 

💖 The Heart of Positive Discipline

At its core, Positive Discipline is about helping every child feel a deep sense of belonging and significance.
• Belonging: “I am connected.”
• Significance: “I matter and can contribute.”

👶👧👦 For Children and Teenagers

Positive Discipline grows with your family:
• For children: it encourages cooperation, responsibility, and problem-solving.
• For teenagers: it helps parents stay connected while setting respectful boundaries.
