Positive Discipline

This approach works from the premise that the key to positive discipline is not punishment, but mutual respect. Come discover concrete tools to support learning in a variety of areas such as bridge communication gaps, defuse power struggles, enforce the message of love, build on strengths – not weaknesses, win cooperation at home, and meet the special challenge of teenage misbehavior.
