Positive Discipline
At Leonardo Academy, we strongly believe in the beneficial impact of positive discipline on our students’ populations. “Positive Discipline is designed to teach young people to become responsible, respectful, and resourceful members of their communities. Positive Discipline teaches important social and life skills in a manner that is deeply respectful and encouraging for both children”, Dr. Jane Nelsen.
Our staff applied the 5 criteria for positive discipline developed by Dr. Jane Nelsen in all our classrooms.
- Is Kind and Firm at the same time. (Respectful and encouraging)
- Helps children feel a sense of Belonging and Significance. (Connection)
- Is Effective Long-Term. (Punishment works short-term but has negative long-term results.)
- Teaches valuable Social and Life Skills for good character. (Respect, concern for others, problem-solving, accountability, contribution, cooperation)
- Invites children to discover how capable they are and to use their personal power in constructive ways.
