Family:educate children through positive discipline

More and more countries are introducing legislation to protect children from corporal punishment  which does not only cause physical pain but it also humiliates children and insults their right to physical integrity.Positive discipline is the best alternative to respond to the misbehaving of children at home and at school claim the psychologists.
 To adopt this workable alternative at school we have ask some questions in order to understand why children behave as they do.

  1-Do children feel emotionally and physically secure at school?
  2-Do they feel respected by their teachers and peers?
  3-Do they have a sense of belonging to the group they find themselves a part of?
  Most misbehaving pupils feel they are not accepted in their class so they try to fill their emotional and psychological needs.
  If teachers try to understand the pupils' behaviour they'll be able to find and create new ways to guide their behaviour which will benefit everyone in class.They'll exchange making pupils experience  humiliation with making them consider the effects of their behaviour and identify alternative and preferred behaviour.
  Positive discipline does not reward children for poor behaviour but it gives them an opportunity to act as individuals who understand their mistakes and appreciate appropriate behaviour that makes them feel accepted and valued as members of their community.
 It consists of them helping them develop self discipline by providing them with mentoring,clear guidelines and ongoing support that ranges from words and hugs to gifts and rewards.
 Through positive discipline teachers will invite pupils to discover how capable they are and to use their potential constructively.
