This 8 minute TV interview really explains the principles behind Positive Discipline. Good stuff for any parent struggling to get kids to cooperate. Much better approach than punishing!
if we all could teach rather than shame and blame our children-we would be so much more happy and have closer relationships even through the teen areas!!!
My foster mother did this as I was growing up. They both gave me options toward a problem that made me more independent. I think my biological family was the opposite and so I got confused a lot growing up. So with two parents it is important that both parents are using the same teaching styles so it does not offset anything. Would you say this is a more of an authoritative than authoritarian and permissive?
Wow! Thank you. I have a 1 year old and a 2 year old, so man did I need this. My 2 year old daughter has selective hearing, so we are trying to work on that.
I'm going to do this today. The child I am dealing with used to be completely respectful and listened when I asked her to do something. She has become completely the opposite, she ignores not only me, but her mother as well and I really want to try other alternatives than spankings. I hate hitting her, so damn much. It's the only thing that makes her do what she is supposed to be doing. I give her three swats and only threaten more. I never 7se anything except for my hand and I put her on time outs, take the toys, take the tv time, but there is never any support from the mother. She always gives it back, because the girl whines. I told her she needs to stop, because you're teaching her that all she has to do is whine and cry to get what she wants and doesn't have to listen to anyone. I'm at my wits end with her.
Love it! Can't believe this has been around for years and I haven't seen it!
This Woman is Spot On !

I totally agree with this lady. Punishment does nothing except teach you how to not get caught.
