Positive Guidance and Discipline
Program Description
As a parent, one of your most challenging jobs is guiding your children. The job seems easy when your children are cooperative and happy. It is not so easy when they have temper tantrums or refuse to pick up their toys! Most children are not well behaved all of the time.
Parents need to be consistent when they try to help their children understand what is expected of them. Young children lack self control. They slowly improve in behavior as they learn what is expected at home, in school, and in public.
The lesson and activities in this section explores parenting styles and child outcomes as well as specific prevention and intervention strategies which parents can use to guide their children's behavior. There is also a variety of tools that can be used with various audiences and situations.
