Positive Discipline in Everyday Parenting (PDEP) is a parent support program that helps parents gradually move away from physical and emotional punishment, toward solutions that nurture their children’s healthy development and learning. Sometimes “positive discipline” is misunderstood as “permissiveness”. Actually, positive discipline is about finding long-term solutions that help children develop their own self- discipline over time.
