WELCOME!

WELCOME TO THE POSITIVE DISCIPLINE NETWORK!

If you are implementing Positive Discipline as a newcomer or a veteran, as a parent or a teacher, have you found that it is often easier said than done? Have you wished there were people you could connect with to ask questions, share challenges—and successes? If you are a Positive Discipline Parent Educator, have you wished for a place to ask questions, share ideas, new activities, new agendas? This is the place! Be sure to join at least one group that represents the ages of your children or other groups that represent your interests.

NEW MEMBERS


Please read some of the many discussions that have already been posted before asking a question. In a specific group, find the "discussions" link and click on "view all." You may find that your concern has already been discussed--and you can join the discussion. Another way to find topics that concern you is to do a search in the upper right hand corner. You might search for one word such as "bedtime" or "sharing" or "strong-willed." If you want to search for a phrase, be sure to put quotes around it such as "teen lacks motivation".

Following are some other suggestion for how to use the network.

YOUR PROFILE

Fill in your profile with as much information as you would like. Hopefully you will include a photo of yourself and your family. Also, please share how you learned about Positive Discipline. We want to create a friendly, encouraging community and will not accept members who are looking for a place to SPAM.

GROUPS

The General PD Group is for articles and discussions of general Positive Discipline concepts. You will find many other focus groups. Join groups that may interest you—or start your own group. (Groups must be approved by the site administrator and related to Positive Discipline.) Perhaps you would like to connect with other people who are using PD in your Country or your City. Start a group, invite your friends, and welcome others who join you.

You will be notified whenever anything is posted within your group unless you turn off this feature. The weird thing is that when you can see "stop following" you will be notified when discussions or comments are posted in a group you have joined. When you click on "stop following." you will not be notified.

QUESTIONS

It is very difficult to answer questions for people who have not read a Positive Discipline book. Too much explanation is required about why we don't advocate punishment, and about The Four Mistaken Goals of Behavior, and the Five Criteria for Positive Discipline, etc., etc., etc. Questions on the network are for people who are familiar with Positive Discipline and need help with practical application. If you haven't read a Positive Discipline book, hopefully, you will enjoy and benefit by reading discussions and comments from others until you find time (if so inspired) to read a PD book. When you have a question start a "discussion" about the topic, such as "sleeping challenges, backtalk, sibling fights," etc. The icon (+ start discussion) is very small under the heading Discussion Forum.

EVENTS

If you are a Positive Discipline Parent Educator, you can post your Positive Discipline classes and workshops under events. We hope to see thousands of these so people interested in Positive Discipline can find your classes.

POSITIVE DISCIPLINE INFORMATION AND NEW PRODUCTS


You will receive information from the Positive Discipline Association (the not for profit organization) and their training workshops and other events.

You will also be notified about new Positive Discipline products as they are developed and/or published. However, the primary purpose of this network is for you to communicate with others who want to create more peace in the world through peace in homes and schools.

RULES

We have three strict rules:
1) All topics must be related to Positive Discipline so we can stay focused on what people who join this network are looking for.
2) No spamming. It is fine to mention what you do on your profile page, but please do not send emails or create posts trying to sell anything that is not related to Positive Discipline.
3) Nothing disrespectful. I almost left this one out because it seems so obvious.

We are glad you are here!
