Such excellent advice that all parents should read. I will share it widely.

I agree with your strategies!

I think also just having family expectations and rules and repeating them clearly each day-highlighting when you see your children following these rules will prevent a lot of need for any reactive strategies.

Discipline is one of those terms that becomes synonymous with punishment-and not in the psychology definition that we use. Really it’s about reaching our children the expectations of the environment and following through!
