Are you looking for new parenting tools?
Are you frustrated and want to do it differently?

**Alternatives to traditional “time out” that helps children develop self regulation skills.

**How to solve problems with making agreements and how to uphold them.
What is Positive Discipline?
Positive Discipline is an approach for working with children in a way that is neither permissive nor punitive, but rather
teaches problem solving, relationship building, communication, cooperation, and other crucial social skills. The tools ofpunishments and rewards are replaced with teaching tools and specific techniques that will encourage children to become independent, respectful, and thoughtful individuals.
