POSITIVE DISCIPLINE

Some programs are developed for parents. Others are developed for teachers. This program works for both.
The concepts are the same for parents and teachers. The only difference is the setting. Many teachers are also parents who use these concepts at home as well as in school.
Understanding and cooperation between home and school are enhanced when teachers and parents are united in their methods of helping children and each other in positive ways.
The following are the three main approaches to adult-child interaction and explains the differences.

STRICTNESS
(Excessive Control)

PERMISSIVENESS
(No Limits)

POSITIVE DISCIPLINE
(Firmness with dignity and respect)

	Order without freedom
	No Choices
	"You do it because I said so."
	Freedom without order
	Unlimited choices
	"You can do anything you want."
	Freedom with order.
	Limited Choices.
	"You can choose within limits that show respect for all".

It look obvious that Positive discipline is the answer, however, how do we accomplish this logical approach. How do we solve the puzzle.

Basics are:

	Understanding the Four Mistaken Goals of Behavior - Resentment ("This is unfair, I can't trust adults.") - Revenge ("They are winning now, but I will get even.") - Rebellion (:I'll do just the opposite to prove I don't have to do it their way'") - Retreat: a) Sneakiness ("I won't get caught next time." b) Reduced self-esteem ("I am a bad person;")
	Kindness and firmness at the same time
	Mutual respect
	Mistakes are opportunities to learn
	Social interest
	Family and class meetings
	Involving children in problem-solving
	Encouragement ATTEND THE CLASSES AND SOLVE THE PUZZLE ! NEW CLASS STARTING IN SPRING OF 2008! CONTACT JACKI GARZA OF TRANSITIONS MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION FOR MORE INFORMATION: 458-6388

	Prevent (or stop) children from using alcohol, other drugs and tobacco.
	Stop parent-child arguments forever!
	Improve children’s grades and school attendance.
	Recognize and prevent gang involvement.
	Learn how to “out-will” a strong-willed child!

Gangs. Drugs. Alcohol. Family disintegration.

Our kids face unprecedented pressures and problems. No wonder so many of them have given up resisting society’s ills and started reflecting them.

While this may explain their difficult, defiant or destructive behavior, it doesn’t excuse it. Parents need to learn effective prevention and intervention techniques in order to help their children swim against the tide and grow into safe and competent adults.
