success through positive discipline
Teaching tools for developing important life, social, and problem-solving skills.
Empowering
the Next Generation
This program is for parents & educators to help children develop:
Self-Discipline
Conflict Resolution
Responsibility
Feeling of Competence, Confidence & Capability
Cooperation
Positive Discipline’s experiential activities help parents get into the world of children to discover what really works and what doesn’t– what children are truly thinking, feeling, and deciding based on the methods being used. Our classes and workshops teach tools for effective communication tailored to your child’s behavior, while developing key problem-solving tools.
WHAT MAKES POSITIVE DISCIPLINE SO EFFECTIVE?
Teaching through unique experiential activities! Positive Discipline training is unlike any other program. You will not sit through lectures, power points, or video clips. In these classes, you will have fun learning by doing, so adults can feel how and why these tools are so effective, understand child behavior, and connect with others that share some of the same challenges. Positive Discipline does not use rewards or punishment and instead focuses on solutions!
Every activity illustrates the 5- Positive Discipline Criteria:
1
Helps children feel a sense of connection (Belonging & Significance)
2
Is mutually respectful & encouraging (Kind and Firm at the same time)
3
Is effective long-term (Considers what the child is thinking, feeling, & deciding about himself & his world & what to do in the future to survive and thrive)
4
Teaches important social & life skills (Respect, concern for others, problem-solving, cooperation as well as the skills to contribute to home, school and the community)
5
Invites children to discover how capable they are (Encourages the constructive use of power and autonomy)

In our classes and workshops you will learn tips and techniques through experiential activities that will give you a better understanding of your child’s behavior, and arm you with solutions that are enlightening and engaging. The program is not based on rewards, punishment, nor a permissive style of teaching/parenting, it is based on solutions! In these classes, connections are made, aha moments are experienced, and fun, empowering memories are made.

WHY POSITIVE DISCIPLINE?
Because it works! Not just in the moment, these tools provide young people with the skills they will need as adults.
“Raising my children with Positive Discipline, I gained confidence recognizing before my eyes how these tools are effective not only for day to day problems, they also benefit my children for a lifetime. It was thrilling to watch my 5 and 7-year-old avoid a potential fight when my 5-year-old asked his sister “How do you want to handle this?” She gave her input, then my son had a different idea. They both liked his idea and went about their coloring without even asking me or needing my help whatsoever.”
Kimberly Taylor, CPE
Whether they knew it or not, they were using:
Self-Discipline
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
COOPERATION
Problem-Solving skills
“family resource”
“Kimberly has been a a fabulous child and family resource for our family for the past 10 years. I first heard of Positive Discipline from another parent at our school. She highly recommended Kimberly Taylor and so my husband and I signed up for her next class. It provided us with the foundation to begin using Positive Discipline principles with our son who was a first grader at the time. Now our son is in 10th grade and we continue to use phone consults with Kimberly at various times when we run into an issue we aren’t sure how to handle best. She always listens so closely and comes up with options and ideas for how to proceed. Kimberly is an expert and we are so grateful to have her to turn to when we need guidance.”
