Positive Discipline
(or PD) is a discipline model used by schools
that focuses on the positive points of
behaviour, based on the idea that there are no
bad children, just good and bad behaviors.
You can teach and reinforce the good
behaviors while weaning the bad behaviors
without hurting the child verbally or
physically. People engaging in positive
discipline are not ignoring problems. Rather,
they are actively involved in helping their
child learn how to handle situations more
appropriately while remaining calm, friendly
and respectful to the children themselves.
Positive discipline includes a number of
different techniques that, used in
combination, can lead to a more effective
way to manage groups of students.
