For 25 years, Positive Discipline has been the gold standard reference for grown-ups working with children. Now Jane Nelsen, distinguished psychologist, educator, and mother of seven, has written a revised and expanded edition. The key to positive discipline is not punishment, she tells us, but mutual respect. Nelsen coaches parents and teachers to be both firm and kind, so that any child - from a three-year-old toddler to a rebellious teenager - can learn creative cooperation and self-discipline with no loss of dignity.

Dr. Jane Nelsen is the co-author of the popular book Positive Discipline for Teenagers. In this lecture, Jane shares principles that will help parents understand how to use non-punitive (kind and firm at the same time) discipline tools to avoid power struggles and motivate teenagers. Teens want to pilot their own planes. Parents want to pilot their teen's plane. What is the solution to keep teens from kicking you out of the cockpit?

This two-hour lecture by Dr. Jane Nelsen was given on May 12, 2005, during the Butte County Department of Behavioral Health Parent Conference in Chico, California.

Serenity provides many tools to help listeners discover innate feelings of joy, compassion, gratitude, wisdom, and love, so they can live more fully every day.
