Practices that may help
- Positive Discipline (Jane Nelsen)
Positive Discipline, developed by Jane Nelsen and based on Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs’s work, is a parenting and classroom approach that is simultaneously kind and firm — neither permissive nor punitive. Its central premise is that children do better when they feel a sense of belonging and significance, and that most misbehavior is an ineffective attempt to achieve one of these. The approach has strong clinical adoption and is consistent with authoritative parenting research, though controlled trials on the specific Positive Discipline curriculum are limited. - Take time for training — teach the skill, not just the rule
Children misbehave partly because they don’t know how to do the right thing — teach the skill when everyone is calm.
Positive Discipline (Jane Nelsen) - Recognize what is not happening with proactive recognition
Catch the child not misbehaving and name the success explicitly.
The Nurtured Heart Approach (Howard Glasser) - Refuse to energize negative behavior
Give consequences briefly and blandly — no energy, no lecture, no drama.
The Nurtured Heart Approach (Howard Glasser) - Be kind AND firm — simultaneously, not alternately
Kind without firm is permissive; firm without kind is authoritarian. The practice is holding both at once.
Positive Discipline (Jane Nelsen) - Follow through on the stated consequence calmly and without anger
The consequence teaches; the anger confuses — keep them separate.
Natural and Logical Consequences (Rudolf Dreikurs) - Use time-out to regulate, not to punish
A restorative time-out is a calming tool the child chooses — not a punishment space.
Positive Discipline (Jane Nelsen) - Use a brief reset rather than escalating consequences
A short, calm time-out ends the incident without energizing it.
The Nurtured Heart Approach (Howard Glasser) - Pair the rule with self-compassion, not self-criticism
Respond to a miss with kindness and a plan, which rebounds faster than harsh self-talk.
The Two-Day Rule: Never Skip Twice - Connect before you correct
A child who feels connected to you is far more receptive to your guidance than one who feels attacked.
