Description
The mission of the Positive Discipline Association is to create a peaceful world by teaching Adlerian social and emotional life skills for respectful relationships.
Applied in the family setting, Positive Discipline teaches important social and life skills, in a manner that is respectful to both the adults and children - raising young people to be responsible, respectful and resourceful members of their community. Children who grow up in Positive Discipline homes have a sense of connection to their community (home, school), feel their input is regarded as meaningful and are less likely to engage in "mis" behavior. To be successful members of the community children need to be taught the necessary social skills. Positive Discipline is based on the understanding that discipline must be taught and that discipline teaches. Family Meetings are a key component of the Positive Discipline home.
Likewise, applied in the school setting, Positive Discipline educates teachers about the importance of belonging and significance, respect for all people,
encouragement, strategies for reducing misbehavior, and the development
of problem solving and communication skills for students and staff. One
key component is regularly scheduled Class Meetings which provide a
problem solving forum and reduce the number of interruptions to teaching
time. Positive Discipline materials provide teachers with specific lessons to use with children from preschool to high school age to teach healthy self-discipline. Teachers report they enjoy teaching more because Positive Discipline promotes better discipline in their classrooms and more cooperation among students, thereby providing more teaching time.
Child Care Centers, After School Programs and other community agencies also benefit from the use of the same Positive Discipline approaches. A wide range of books and manuals addressing child development, Positive Discipline principles and special family situations is available. Typical book titles include
Positive Discipline for Preschoolers, Positive Discipline for Teenagers, Positive Discipline in the Classroom, and Positive Discipline: A Teacher’s A to Z Guide.
The Corporation, Positive Discipline Association, exists to strengthen families, schools, and communities. It provides training for trainers who educate parents (including foster parents and house parents for residential settings), teachers, administrators and other helping professionals. It provides training materials and follow-up services. All the work is based upon Adlerian/Dreikursian principles for issues relating to parenting, guidance, discipline, relationships, communication skills, and team building. Specific target groups for workshops or trainings include, but are not limited to:
