The book "The family discipline: a willingness to negotiate " offers an approach that allows parents to negotiate terms of family life with their children using has consequences rather than punishment, a therefore be the result of an election while punishment is an intervention from outside. The author encourages parents to tell children in any discipline but also to justify anything, because it is only when the child knows what is expected of him and he will have a clear idea of orientation family as a social system that can choose their own behaviors and life pleasant or unpleasant consequences of its decisions. Once the child will become aware of this reality, it will be towards its accountability
Promote the full development of the child
Parenting
Parenting is to accept the responsibility to create a family environment that promotes the full development of the child combined with the full development of his person. Unfortunately there is no school of parents, thus becoming parents means working on the job with related experiences gained through reading, contacts, advice and suggestions of our peers. Moreover, raising children includes a variety of skills which is certainly not the least to instill a sense of responsibility and discipline. In fact it is probably the most disturbing and most ominously for the majority of parents
A model of family discipline
The proposed model
management model Disciplinary proposed is based on the daily reality of our society in which social behaviors are governed by laws and regulations. For example, every car driver is supposed to know the laws and regulations governing the traffic lights and is supposed to respect them. Nevertheless, some driving choices lead directly to a ticket. The family may be considered a "mini society" with rules that promote a family atmosphere in which all members can live in harmony and on the same wavelength.
This model of discipline is the responsibility of the child. It is acquired through a management model based on discipline regulations, choices made by the child and appropriate consequences to action taken. For example, a child who has not done its homework before going out (an election), breaking the rules (the homework will always be completed before release) and may suffer the consequence (result or an action a fact entails) that is chosen by the parent.
