Question 1

what's positive discipline theory?

Accepted Answer

Behavior attention: In terms of helping kids with behavioral problems, positive reinforcement is a great way to promote desirable behaviors. Negative behaviors may be "accidently" reinforced by paying them too much attention, so it's best to ignore most negative, non- violent behaviors.

Be persistent: Make a schedule, stick to it, prioritize your tasks, create a list of things to get accomplished, be persistent and stay dedicated to your goal.

Question 4

is it a good idea to discipline my baby?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Remember, discipline means teaching to your rules. It is not "being punitive". That's key. Should you yell at, smack or punish your baby? No. That won't be effective. Should you discipline them? Sure. If they are doing behaviors that you want to encourage, then you should pay more attention. Early on, positive reinforcement works best. Later, time outs work as negative reinforcement.

Question 5

how can a person develop more self-discipline?

Accepted Answer

Set Goals: Sit down with paper and pencil and write down goals. Start with where you want to be in ten years and then go backwards. Like-"if this is where i want to be in ten years, where do I need to be in five years? And so forth. Then, try and have monthly weekly and daily goals. Tell yourself: "he who hesitates is lost" & "there's no time like the present" you can do it. Stay positive and focused.

Question 9

can you tell me how i can get some more self discipline?

Accepted Answer

Practice: Set small goals for yourself and work on them. Then give yourself positive reinforcement for it. It may seem silly, but if you focus on the positive ("I did a good job on that"), it leads to more positive thinking ("I can do this. I'm going to do it now"). Make lists of things you need to do and check them off as you accomplish them.

Question 10

what is the method which i can be more disciplined with food?

Accepted Answer

Food discipline: Wow, this is a hard question! start with plenty of physical activity to keep metabolism active, and try to eat small, frequent snacks of protein and fruits and vegetables (almonds, walnuts, yoghurt, blueberries, apples, etc) which will maintain blood sugar and prevent extreme cravings. Don't severely restrict foods, but try to think carefully about portions and avoid emotional/stress/bored eating!
