way to get to know other families. About
Positive Discipline (from www.positivediscipline.com):
All parents try to do their best—but the best of
intentions don't always produce the best results. Dr. Jane Nelsen, an
experienced psychologist, educator, and mother, believes that children
misbehave when they feel thwarted in their need to belong and in their
need for love and attention. An authoritative approach, using phrases
like "Because I said so!", will only lead to rebellious
behavior. Instead, parents need basic principles that bring them and
their children closer. They need Positive Discipline. Dr. Jane Nelsen
explains that parents who use kindness and firmness to teach life skills
will encourage self-respect, self-discipline, cooperation, good
behavior, and problem-solving skills in their children. In Positive
Discipline, revised and updated for the 90's, she shows all of us,
parents and teachers alike, exactly how her practical program
works-answering, step-by-step, such important questions as:
--What
works better than punishment to teach children positive, good
behavior?
--What mistakes do most parents make "in the name of
love?"
--How can parents turn their mistakes into assets?
--How can praise be dangerous?
--What are the dangers of trying to be "Super Mom?"
--How can teachers avoid discipline problems in the classroom?
