Based on the work of Dr. Jane Nelson www.positivediscipline.com, Positive Discipline teaches parents how to use non-punitive tools to create a respectfull and loving relationship with their children. Its core values are:
1. Parents need to be kind and firm at the same time.
2. Children need to feel a sense of belonging and significance.
3. Parenting tools need to be effective long term.
4. Children need to be taught valuable social and life skills.
5. Parents need to invite their children to discover how capable they are.
Positive Discipline courses are taught in an interactive group environment, where parents are encouraged to experience various positive discipline methods from their child's perspective.
Freddie and Prue Liger are the only Positive Discipline educators offering this course as a couple in Australia. They bring their own family experiences of raising three children to each course, and are the first to admit that they are not perfect parents. They have learnt however, that mistakes are great learning opportunities for themselves and their children, and that saying sorry to your child models mutual respect and love.
