Positive Discipline

Positive Discipline is a program designed to teach young people to become responsible, respectful, and resourceful members of their communities. Recent research tells us that children are "hardwired" from birth to connect with others, and children who feel a sense of connection to their community, family, and school are less likely to misbehave. To be successful, contributing members of their community, children must learn necessary social and life skills. Positive Discipline is based on the understanding that discipline must be taught and that discipline also teaches.

The Positive Discipline program was created by Dr. Jane Nelsen.
