Positive discipline as a method in the challenge of educating without violence

Abstract

This research aimed to answer whether positive discipline is an effective alternative in education without violence. The research was of a qualitative approach and the type of bibliographic study. Positive discipline states that for healthy neurodevelopment to occur, there must be a balance between permissiveness and rigidity and control. Thus, children have the opportunity to develop in social life and build their character formation and this takes place within an environment where kindness, firmness, respect and dignity are obtained. It assumes that most parents want their children to have essential qualities so that they are responsible adults and emotionally well developed. Although it has been found that the use of punishment and violence to solve bad behavior is convincing, this type of practice makes unsafe and unhappy adults and has no long-term benefits.
