Positive Discipline in Everyday Parenting (PDEP) is an approach that emphasizes building children’s self-discipline through supportive and non-violent techniques. The overall goal of positive discipline is to teach children self-discipline, responsibility, and problem-solving skills while fostering a respectful and loving relationship.

This course was designed to help families learn how to teach children effectively, while respecting their rights. It’s an approach that can guide all interactions with children, not just the challenging ones, to promote healthy child development and strong parent-child relationships.

Anyone who cares for children is welcome.
