Positive discipline is not about punishment, it’s about teaching children to behave, make good choices, and respect others. Here are seven simple ways to encourage positive behaviour.
Make rules easy to understand and explain why they are important, so kids know what’s expected of them.
Notice and praise kids when they behave well, so they will do it again.
Handle mistakes with patience and give the same response every time so kids know actions have consequences.
A short, calm time-out gives kids a chance to think about their behaviour without feeling ashamed or scared.
Give kids simple choices – like choosing between two outfits – so they feel heard and learn to make decisions.
Kids learn by watching, so show kindness, honesty and patience and they will copy the same.
When mistakes happen, guide kids to understand what went wrong and how they can do better next time.
