Educating without punishment: that's what parents and teachers want. Much research has demonstrated the harmful effects of punishment, and we now know that it is self-discipline that brings greater satisfaction to parents and reduces physical and psychological problems in children. Self-discipline has been clearly shown to increase their self-esteem, their sense of initiative, as well as their social and academic success. With the help of the case studies presented in this book, you will discover new ways to encourage children to change their behavior without resorting to punishment or rewards. In this way, you will help them take responsibility and face their own difficulties.
