Discipline Without Stress

This second edition has the same content as the first edition but includes testimonials and additional submissions from teachers and parents. The Discipline without Stress® Teaching Model is used around the world. The non-coercive (yet non-permissive) approach to promoting responsible behaviour and motivation for learning is totally different from current approaches that use rewards for appropriate behaviour and coercive threats and punishments. The book can be used across the entire teaching spectrum -- in small childcare centres to large high schools and in rural, suburban and urban schools. It can be used in any home or youth setting.

This printable 100-page Resource Guide is the manual for seminars conducted by Dr. Marvin Marshall. The guide explains the difference between classroom management and discipline, a better approach than relying on rules, three practices that reduce stress and increase effectiveness, the Raise Responsibility System (discipline program), and how to use the system to increase motivation in learning.

This book offers a revolutionary approach to raise responsibility and promote learning that can be used in any school, home, or business setting. The book shows how internal motivation is more effective in changing behavior than any external approach. --"This fascinating, insightful book breathes a sound philosophy and way of thinking that empowers, instead of our looking to others for solutions" (Stephen R. Covey, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People) --"Highly recommended for all teachers (no matter what grade level) as well as parents (regardless of the age of the child) (Library Journal, Vol.126 No. 1)

This landmark book shows how to handle every discipline problem and reduce apathy toward learning. The approach is unique in that it is totally noncoercive (but not permissive) and shows how to use authority without punishments, threats, or coercion. The book’s Raise Responsibility System is quoted in university textbooks for teacher training and in education publications around the world. The book describes how to improve classroom management, reduce impulsivity, and have young people WANT to behave responsibly through internal rather than external motivation. The system is based upon the author’s K – 12 and university teaching experiences, counseling experiences, and administrative experiences—rather than from a theoretical perspective. This is the latest edition.

Ever since the first schools opened their doors, teachers have struggled to find ways to successfully deal with misbehaving students. Many have found nothing but stress and frustration in their attempts to bring order to their classrooms. Unfortunately, this problem is not going away. As times and students change, teachers are finding that old methods of classroom management are no longer working.The time has come for teachers to learn a different style of classroom management. They can no longer rely on old strategies of anger and intimidation. Discipline Without Anger shows teachers how to successfully manage their classes so that they can be free to teach without having to become bullies to keep order.There are many potentially great teachers today who are teaching poorly (or not teaching at all) because of weaknesses or fears in the area of classroom management. As a result, our schools and students are paying a price. It is time that teachers learn how to successfully handle student misbehavior and finally reach their full potential.

In this easy-to-read, science-based book, parents, caregivers, and adults of all kinds discover how discipline affects children’s development, why intervention should reinforce connection not separation, and why the disciplinary strategies that may have been used on us as children are not the ones that children really need. As a practicing child and family psychologist and advisor to the British Columbia ministry of children and families, Dr. Vanessa has seen it all, and she has navigated hundreds of tough situations with families. Drawing on scientific research and a wealth of clinical experience, she shows you how to put out the fire without dampening your child’s spirits; how to correct their behavior while emphasizing connection; and how to discipline without damage.

Many moments in parenting seem unavoidable. Your preschooler will throw fits. Your third-grader will try to get out of doing homework--even if it means lying. A budding tween will dish out insults. And a teenager will simply take off for who knows where. At each stage, they are trying to test your boundaries (and sometimes your patience). While this may be a natural part of growing up, that doesn’t mean any of these actions are acceptable or excusable. So what does a parent do?Stress-Free Discipline knows that the one-size-fits-all discipline methods many experts tout can actually be too narrow for some concerns. Instead, parents need to learn how to determine the root cause behind their child’s issue, which will then help explain what is driving the behavior, why it’s probably more normal than the parent realizes, how to prevent further escalations, and how to instill self-control. Once parents grasp the underlying motivation, they can select the strategy that fits their child's age, temperament, and issue--including role modeling, setting limits, positive reinforcement, negative consequences, disengagement--and deploy it calmly and with confidence. Complete with an arsenal of proven techniques, as well as examples and exercises throughout to help parents personalize to their own unique situation, Stress-Free Discipline is the one-stop resource that will prepare parents for any challenge from any stage. Don’t lead home without it!

Discipline that you and your child will feel good about! Spanking and time-outs do NOT work. At last, a positive discipline book that is full of practical tips, strategies, skills, and ideas for parents of babies through teenagers, and tells you EXACTLY what to do "in the moment" for every type of behaviour, from whining to web surfing. Includes 50 pages of handy charts of the most common behaviour problems and the tools to handle them respectfully! Parents and children today face very different challenges from the previous generation. Today's children play not only in the sandbox down the street, but also in the world wide web, which is too big and complex for parents to control and supervise. As young as aged four, your child can contact the world and the world can contact them. A strong bond between you and your child is critical in order for your child to regard you as their trusted advisor. Traditional discipline methods no longer work with today's children and they destroy your ability to influence your increasingly vulnerable children who need you as their lifeline! You need new discipline tools!

A respected child psychologist offers parents a behavior management system with clear and consistent rules that are connected to solid consequences and meaningful rewards.
