[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 13919, member: 10"] Hi, Here is a quote from Jane Nelsen Where did we ever get the crazy idea that in order to make children DO better first we have to make them FEEL worse? When people first hear this quote from Positive Discipline, they usually laugh as they think about how it doesnt make sense. However, when it comes to application, it seems that parents, teachers, and students have difficulty accepting that people do better when they feel better. We have a saying - a positive deeds breeds further good actions , the reward of a good deed is another good deed. When he has gone off track , we have to help him get back on , not make him feel worse Don't these teachers understand that for all people criticism and punishment just make people antagonistic. It is so much easier if she would get him on her side with empathy and try come up with a plan instead of sending him to the principle. Alfie Kohn wrote an article - ' Discipline is the problem , not the solution . The kid may be only a part of the problem. I hope the principle can get through to her Allan [/QUOTE]
