What is Positive Discipline in Everyday Parenting?

Positive Discipline in Everyday Parenting (PDEP) is an approach to parenting that teaches children and guides their behaviour, while respecting their rights to healthy development, protection from violence and participation in their learning. Positive Discipline can be used from birth onward into adulthood. It is based on research in children’s healthy development, effective parenting, and founded on child rights principles.

Positive Discipline is not permissive parenting and is not about punishment. It is about long-term solutions that develop children’s own self-discipline and their lifelong skills. Positive Discipline is about teaching non-violence, empathy, self-respect, human rights and respect for others.

The Positive Discipline program is a not-for-profit program that was developed in partnership between the University of Manitoba and Save the Children Sweden. Positive Discipline is a preventive, universal, and culturally inclusive approach toparenting and working with children.
