From my experience of hundreds of children, I know that they have perhaps a finer sense of honor than you or I have. The greatest lessons in life, if we would but stop and humble ourselves, we would learn not from grown-up learned men, but from the so-called ignorant children. (Mahatma Gandhi)

Even though Caregivers don't always get thanked, your unconditional love and regard make you the wonders that you are. Remember to celebrate you!

Everything you think you know about disciplining kids is wrong Negative consequences, timeouts, and punishment just make bad behavior worse. But a new approach really works.

The word punishment is derived from the Latin word punire which means penalty, to pay for and give pain. This Latin word implies the threat or use of power.
The word discipline comes from the Latin root discere which means to learn, and from the Latin word disciplus which means pupil.
The goal is to manage children's behavior with discipline that promotes self-esteem by applying positive reinforcement and logical consequences in order to teach children to take responsibility for his/her actions.
