[11 Septmber 2007] - This publication addresses the recommendations of the 2006 UN World Report on Violence against Children that calls for the elimination of all corporal punishment of children and the promotion of positive discipline. It dismisses the common belief that children learn through physical pain and aims to provide concrete answers to parents who want to raise their children without corporal punishment. Positive discipline is explained through four basic principles that highlight the links among child development, effective parenting and children’s rights. A unique feature of the book is that it provides ways to shift from impulsive punitive responses to thought-out constructive responses that support long term parenting goals. “Positive Discipline: What it is and how to do it” is launched officially in the Philippines, Thailand, and Fiji, on 11 September 2007 through a joint effort of Save the Children Sweden and Save Children Fiji, prior to dissemination in 16 other countries in Southeast Asia and the Pacific as well as other regions.
