What does the teaching style look like?

The Positive Discipline education system adopts a unique "experiential activity" teaching method, which rejects the traditional teaching and learning methods, and allows students to enter the world of the child through interesting activities, role-playing, group discussions, and practice exercises, so that they can change from passive learning to active learning, and find a win-win solution.

Another difference between the Positive Discipline system and many other early childhood education systems is that it does not teach children directly. Positive Discipline programs are offered to parents, teachers, and psychotherapists, but not to children. Rather, it's called How Adults Treat Children, a training for adults.

It has been proved that many teachers and parents have been helped through the positive discipline program, learning effective ways to resolve conflicts with their children, and then increasing their level of understanding with their children, which in turn has led to the establishment of a close relationship of mutual respect with their children. This is the most important psychological security foundation for the growth of children.

03

What does the Positive Discipline tool do?

Positive Discipline has 52 tools, but none of its tools are designed to change a child's behavior; rather, they support a child's growth by creating an environment of constant encouragement for them. This environment of encouragement brings an added bonus, which is a change in the child's behavior.

Encouragement brings about change in children, and it is only when they regularly feel caring support and help that they can change their beliefs about how to achieve a sense of belonging and worthiness. Encouragement gives children two important life skills: the power to take charge of their own lives and the enjoyment of contributing to others.

Positive Discipline tools help children develop the beliefs that "I am loved, I am welcome." and "I am capable, I am welcome. and "I am capable and I can contribute." Two beliefs that are the essence and meaning of belonging and worthiness. This is why all positive discipline tools emphasize the importance of encouragement.

Dreikurs said, "A child needs encouragement like a plant needs water." We teach our children through encouragement the values, qualities, and life skills that can help them become better versions of themselves; however, we need to avoid the false perception that encouragement waters roses into tulips.

04

What are the goals and core beliefs of positive discipline?

The goal of Positive Discipline is not to help parents change their children into someone else, but to help children become better versions of themselves. Therefore, it is important for adults (parents, teachers, and other caregivers of children) to be aware that positive discipline tools do not immediately change a child's beliefs, even if sometimes they do.

The core philosophy is: no punishment, no arrogance, and kindness and firmness go hand in hand.

05

What are the five criteria for "effective discipline"?

2. Is there mutual respect and encouragement?

-Source's ramblings-

Parenting never comes naturally; it's only when parents plan ahead that their children feel like everything is just falling into place.

And this water to the back of the channel, the need for parents of children from childhood character molding and key moments of guidance, this is the most difficult place for parents.

I have been in the early childhood education industry for many years, and because I know the importance of family education to children's growth, I am more in awe of parenting. It wasn't until I met Positive Discipline that I finally cured myself of years of anxiety.

The first thing you need to do is to educate your children, and when the parents are right, the children will be right. The process of learning positive discipline is also a process of self-growth. Positive discipline is gradually changing my life, and I hope to bring this beneficial experience to more people in need.

Recently, I have also officially launched my own positive discipline workshop, " Meet a Better Self Teacher/Parent Growth Salon " for kindergarten teacher teams and parents of 0-6 year olds, which can be customized to share courses.

The aim is to help the head teacher to quickly improve the executive force and cohesion of the teacher team. It helps parents master positive discipline methods, solve parenting problems, and learn to guide their children to gradually become self-disciplined and independent, positive and cooperative, with optimistic qualities.

Because of the company's leadership, the weekend salon activities have been scheduled for the second half of June, if you are interested in the appointment, you can send a private message, and then we will talk about it!

May more teachers and parents grow into a better version of themselves through the practice of positive discipline!
