Affirmative Discipline is nonfiction aimed at parents and other teachers who support children’s learning while they affirm children’s overall development. In only eight short chapters, this book defines concepts of discipline, explores various discipline methods, recommends seven nonintrusive strategies, and explains how six intrusive strategies could be potentially affirmative. Both earlier and later theories of human development are delineated so adults can respect children's nature while steering their behavior in healthy ways. The seventh chapter emphasizes children’s individuality, and the final chapter reminds all adults to celebrate the miracle of childhood. With extensive references to behavioral scientists and the literature on development and discipline, this concise volume ties research to reality.
