Discover the Power of Positive Time-Out
Time-out is one of the most popular disciplinary techniques used
in homes and schools today. But instead of being the positive,
motivating, experience it should be for children, it is often
punitive, counterproductive, and damaging to their gentle
psyches.
In this book, bestselling parenting author Jane Nelsen shows you
how to make time-out a positive learning experience for children.
Inside, you''ll discover how positive time-out can teach children
the art of self-discipline and instill such invaluable qualities as
self-confidence and problem-solving skills. You''ll also learn how
to:
?Make time-out an encouraging experience
?Develop an attitude and action plan to avoid power struggles
with children
?Empower children by involving them in the behavior changing
process
?Understand the mistaken goals of negative behavior
