Parenting with Positive Discipline

Introduction

 

Positive Discipline, by Dr. Jane Nelson (www.positivediscipline.com), is an international parenting approach that helps increase our ability to be the effective parents we want to be in the light of any challenge. It empowers us to become kind but firm parents; holding children accountable for their actions while building their self-esteem. Positive Discipline helps us minimize the power-struggles with difficult behaviors and teaches children how to focus on resolving problems.
