Today´s Theme: Discipline in the Classroom


In our session today (*), I tried to make it clear that our interlocutors establish the way we treat them. We fine-tune our attitude according to the way we perceive the others and they do the same with us. By doing so, we end up making our choices in terms of language, manners, tactfulness, informality, and so forth. In other words, people are more or less polite/educated depending on the circumstances that have a lot to do with rapport and interpersonal skills.

Do you share the same opinion?
How can you associate this point of view with Discipline in the Classroom?


(*)Input Session: "Discipline: To whom it may concern"

Positive Discipline teaches important social and life skills, in a manner that is respectful to both the adults and children - raising young people to be responsible, respectful and resourceful members of their community. Children who grow up in Positive Discipline homes have a sense of connection to their community (home, school), feel their input is regarded as meaningful and are less likely to engage in "mis" behavior. To be successful members of the community children need to be taught the necessary social skills. Positive Discipline is based on the understanding that discipline must be taught and that discipline teaches. Family Meetings are a key component of the Positive Discipline home.
