How To Practice Positive Discipline With Kids, Alison Owen

Positive discipline is a way of teaching children to behave appropriately without the use of punishment. It aims to help the child grow up able to make the right decisions for themselves, and to maintain good self esteem. One of the major concerns among parents is how to effectively discipline children. In homes throughout the world, the topic of disciplining children can cause conflicts between parents, grandparents and other family members. Everyone seems to have an opinion over rules and consequences, while parents strive to do the right thing. While there is no manual handed out to parents when they decide to have children, there are many ways to instill positive discipline. There has been plenty of research in this field. Setting the agenda for positive discipline methods starts with an interest from parents, who want to invest on parenting practices that will improve their present and future relationship with their children.
