As part of its monthy parenting series, the Nashoba Communty Partnershp for Children will present “Disciplne Matters” on Tuesday, Oct. 25, 6:30pm, at the Florence Sawyer School, 100 Mechanc St., Bolton.
Behaviors that challenge us are a function of the interaction between a child’s nature and the demands of an environment. When working with these behaviors, the only sound type of discipline is self-discipline. So how do we develop a comprehensive system that is anchored in sound principles, protects a child’s dignity, and achieves self-discipline? This session examines an approach that transcends traditional behavior management techniques based in coercion and embraces an approach that empowers others through our influence.
