| WHAT IS POSITIVE DISCIPLINE? Positive Discipline is a model based on Adlerian Psychology. It can be used by parents, teachers, couples, businesses, and community leaders to learn to create responsible, respectful, and resourceful relationships in their communities. Based on the best selling Positive Discipline books by Jane Nelsen, Lynn Lott, and co-authors, this model can be applied to both children and adults to become contributing members of their communities. |
