Positive discipline, based on love and limits, is common sense. It's often the simple, sensible choices we tend to overlook as options, especially when we're in the heat of a kid battle. Unlike punishment, positive discipline works to maintain the dignity of both child and parent by helping the child want to cooperate because he knows it's the right thing to do, not because he feels he has to comply "or else." It has three main objectives:
- To put a stop to misbehavior (such as whining, lying, hitting, tantrums).
- To encourage good behaviors (i.e., cleaning up, healthy eating, using manners).
- To strengthen the relationship between parent and child.
