Positive Discipline is characterized by being a transformative tool in working with minors. As demonstrated by Diana Jimenez and Mariana Capurro on RTVE, this approach is not only feasible, but also very effective in fostering the comprehensive development of children. In the context of a postgraduate degree in intervention with minors, Positive Discipline should be considered not only as an additional methodology, but as a paradigm capable of generating a significant impact on the lives of the minors with whom we work.
Adopting and applying positive discipline not only improves the quality of the intervention, but also contributes to the creation of a more empathetic, respectful and collaborative society.
Positive discipline is “the kind firmness”. "Kindness is the way I tell you things and firmness is the limits", that's how he defines it Diana Jiménez, psychologist and educator in Positive Discipline in the second episode of the video podcast 'I raise you a lot'.
Educating with limits and without fear is the main proposal of positive discipline
“Permissiveness is also negligence”, says the psychologist Marina Capurro. “They need well-defined limits and they move within them, but we have to mark that path. In order not to fall into permissiveness, we must be very clear about our principles and our priorities.”.
The alternative to giving orders is to ask questions until the child understands the reason for the rule.
Positive discipline is presented as an essential approach in intervention with minors, standing out for its ability to promote the comprehensive development of children. Diana Jiménez and Mariana Capurro have demonstrated on RTVE that this methodology is not only viable, but also highly effective. By integrating it into graduate programs, should be considered as a key paradigm, not just an additional technique. In conclusion, Positive Discipline has the potential to significantly transform the lives of the children we work with, making a real and positive difference.
