Introduction to Non-Punitive Discipline by Kenny Toh

Introduction to Non-Punitive Discipline
How to Discipline Your Child without Frustration, Guilt or Tears

Most parents share the common aspirations of raising children of good character and helping them develop to their full potential. However, many are feeling frustrated because today’s children do not seem to behave the way children used to in the good old days. Many methods of child discipline that once worked in the past no longer seem to be as effective anymore. As a result, parents often feel lost, and even confused, especially when expert opinions are contradictory. To spank or not to spank? Is ‘Time-Out’ recommended or not? What about removal of privileges?

If you are facing common parenting challenges such as behavioural problems related to homework, computer time, responsibility, loss of interest or motivation, rebellion, and aggression, be reassured that you are not alone and that there are positive alternatives for disciplining children that can free you from frustration, guilt or tears. Attend this informative and insightful talk by the Founder of the Institute of Advanced Parentology and learn more about:

• The common misconceptions that hinder well-meaning parents from disciplining their children effectively


• How punishment work (and doesn’t work)


• How to gain a deeper understanding of your child’s behaviour


• The benefits of Non-Punitive Discipline


• THE SEVEN KEYS TO EFFECTIVE DISCIPLINE that help children develop self-discipline, responsibility and cooperation
