The number one stressor for teachers, who want to make a difference in the lives of students, is the time they have to spend on dealing with misbehavior. Based on the best selling Positive Discipline series (rooted in the work of Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs), this deck of cards includes 52 tools that teach skills for dealing with misbehavior in ways that teach social emotional learning at the same time. Instead of using rewards and punishments (proven by research to be ineffective long-term), these tools help teachers understand the belief behind the behavior; (the driving force behind the behavior) and then how to use encouraging methods such as involving students in focusing on solutions. Each tool includes a cartoon to help you see the humor in difficult situations, which then helps you access the part of your brain that is open to solutions. The text side of the card provides quick and easy steps to implement 52 tools that meet the Five Criteria for Positive Discipline.

Where did we ever get the crazy idea that to get children to do better, first we have to make them feel worse? Coaches hold tremendous influence over children. We have the power to build them up into better athletes and people or tear them down by belittling them. The choice is ours. The old school, toughen them up, words don't hurt; line of thinking in youth sports was never a viable coaching method. We never had the research to show the damage or to disprove the archaic and unscientific beliefs behind this style. Now we do. It simply does not work in the long-term, and possibly it is not effective at all. In fact, the science says negative coaching may not account for any of the results we see. Choosing to build athletes is not difficult. It will be challenging, though, because it still flies in the face of conventional coaching standards and will most likely go against how you were coached. The key to succeeding is to remain intentional and committed. Our Positive Discipline Tools for Coaches program will help you learn how.
