I was with a group of women the other day and we were sharing stories about parenthood. Some of the topics that seemed to be the concern and difficulty for us as busy parents is the act of positive discipline within the household with our children. So let’s talk about it!
There are five essential and effective forms of positive discipline. This can be used in any environment with any and all children. Home, school, practice, clubs, at grandparents houses or even when your children have friends over. The five forms of positive discipline include redirection, positive reinforcement, time-in(carving out quality moments with your children), single word reminders, and selective ignoring of objectionable behavior. Over the next couple months, I would like to talk about one form at a time. This week let’s talk about redirection.
