10 Principles of Positive Discipline – Part 2

Think of a time you have felt under attack or someone was placing blame on you for something that happened. In that moment, how willing were you to seek a solution to the problem at hand?

Fear and negative discipline strategies place children in the lower centers of their brain leaving them unable and unwilling to solve problems. When adults approach conflict and upset moments with children on the intention of love, we can guide children towards solutions and help them develop a healthy self-esteem.

In this episode learn to empower victims and teach bullies new skills supporting successful interactions between children. Utilize children’s tattling to teach assertiveness and problem solving. Join Dr. Becky Bailey in part 2 of 10 Principles of Positive Discipline.
