A thoughtfully revised and expanded edition of Jane Nelsen's revolutionary guide on how to raise capable, confident children without rewards or punishment--now updated with research-backed information on how to approach parenting in the era of social media

For forty-five years, Positive Discipline has been the gold standard reference for adults working with children. Now Jane Nelsen, distinguished psychologist, educator, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, has revised and expanded her classic guide with tools for the modern, digital age.

Nelsen explains how parents and teachers can be both firm and kind at the same time, so that any child--from a four-year-old toddler to a rebellious teenager--can learn solution-oriented cooperation and self-discipline with no loss of dignity. The key to positive discipline is not punishment but respectfully focusing on solutions that teach valuable social and life skills; and encourage mistakes as opportunities to learn--for parents and children. This updated guide covers:

  • A new look at "misbehavior"
  • The significance of birth order
  • How to apply positive discipline in a screen-addicted world
  • How your personality affects theirs
  • Practical kind-and-firm tools to replace rewards and punishment.

With warmth, understanding, and expertise, Nelsen helps parents and teachers unlock the positive solutions and strategies to help kids thrive.

About the Author
Jane Nelsen is the author of the Positive Discipline Series and co-founder of a worldwide training program, through the Positive Discipline Association, that has certified thousands of Positive Discipline Facilitators in over 70 countries. The original book, written in 1981, was the product of Jane's deep gratitude for the changes she was able to make as a parent of seven children after learning the philosophy of Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs in her college class in Child Development and Family Relations. Since that time, Jane has authored or co-authored many books, tool cards, and training manuals. Enthusiasm continues to grow from interest on the part of parents, teachers, couples, and business leaders who have experienced stronger relationships as a result of training in Positive Discipline.
