What is Positive Discpline
What is Positive Discpline
Positive discipline is a parenting and educational approach that focuses on teaching children self-discipline, responsibility, and problem-solving skills. In early education, it involves guiding children with respect and encouragement rather than punishment.
At Duoduo Academy, our positive discipline is backed up by the RIE ("Resources for Infant Educarers") education philosophy and approach that is at the heart of our value. RIE focuses on respectful, trusting, and responsive care. Above everything else, “Respect” is the Guideline of RIE’s Philosophy. At our school, we practice positive discipline via providing respectful, trusting, and responsive care for our children.
Our staff are encouraged to build positive relationships with every child and his/her family by creating environments that are supportive and using positive teaching and learning strategies.
