Remember discipline growing up?

Well, a lot has changed! There has been a parenting paradigm shift. Moving away from controlling to connecting.

In the 1950s, child development ideas were dominated by advice to parents not to ‘spoil’ infants by picking them up or comforting them too much when they cried. Now we know better.  Science confirms that the current parenting paradigm shifts away from punishment and managing behavior to becoming more connected and responsive to our children. We now understand discipline is about teaching. Discipline should encourage children to make better and more responsible choices.

Children’s ‘difficult’ behaviors may often seem random and unpredictable, but they aren't necessarily so when you understand why.

All behavior is communication. Although our child’s behavior may be challenging (and annoying at times!), we must constantly seek "the why” behind it.
