The philosophy of positive discipline is that of raising children in a positive environment enabling them to grow into secure, capable people. Tailored to the needs of parents, teachers, and anyone who works with children, Prima's "Positive Discipline" library is an invaluable resource.
Everyone knows adolescence opens up vast new interests, problems, and potential in children. Many parents are tempted to throw up their hands, but they should read this book instead. Topics include the difference between normal rebellion and excessive resistance, how to see the world through your teenager's eyes, and more.
"I highly recommend this book to parents, teachers, and all others who work with young people. It is one of the best books I have seen on helping adults and adolescents turn their conflict into friendship.
The methods in this book work to build vital social and life skills through encouragement and empowerment—not punishment. Truly effective parenting is about connection before correction.
