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. - Use family meetings to solve problems together
When children help solve the problem, they own the solution — and solutions they own, they actually follow.
Positive Discipline (Jane Nelsen) - 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) - Build a culture of discipline, not a disciplinarian culture
Hire self-disciplined people, then give them freedom within a clear framework.
Level 5 Leadership: Humility and Will in Great Leaders - 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) - Recognize what is not happening with proactive recognition
Catch the child not misbehaving and name the success explicitly.
The Nurtured Heart Approach (Howard Glasser) - Frame uncertain work as learning
Before starting a challenging project, name it explicitly as an experiment where mistakes generate information.
Psychological Safety in Teams - Encourage specific contributions and efforts
"You set the table without being asked — that helped the whole family" is more powerful than "Good job."
Positive Discipline (Jane Nelsen) - Create a culture of peer-to-peer accountability
Teams that only hold each other accountable through the manager haven’t built real accountability at all.
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Made Practical - Connect before you correct
A child who feels connected to you is far more receptive to your guidance than one who feels attacked.
