THE ABCS OF DISCIPLINE AT HOME
Good discipline includes teaching students to live and work with others, exhibit self-control and responsible behavior in order to become independent, well-adjusted adults. This video is an overview of the basics of good discipline. The video features ideas on setting clear rules, enforcing them consistently and teaching good habits through daily routines. You'll see how to let the natural consequences of a student's behavior help him/her learn, and you'll learn how to set a good example and support good discipline at school.
- Teaching Students Responsibility for Their Learning & Behavior
Well-disciplined students take responsibility for their own learning and behavior at home and at school. The best way to help students learn responsibility is to give them significant responsibility, expect them to act responsibly, and then see that they live with the positive or negative results of the behavior choices they make.
REMEMBER... YOU ARE THE ADULT AND YOU ARE IN CHARGE!
Drawing on research into which parenting styles produce the most successful students, this video explains that the most successful, disciplined students have parents who use a "firm" parenting style—not too easy or too tough. It shares the advice of veteran educators about how parents can improve discipline at school and at home, and reviews how to set up a foundation of predictable rules and limits at home.
Students who WANT to succeed achieve remarkable things in school and out. A student's desire for success must come from within, but parents can ignite the spark and nurture the flame. You will learn a "secret" five step formula for helping students (or anyone!) to succeed in whatever they want to do using the building blocks of success--self-confidence, feeling loved and capable, giving new responsibilities, and more.
Successful students have good character traits that help them to succeed every day. Parents, more than schools or churches or teachers—or anyone else—teach students the basic values that will guide their lives. The video will help you think about and consciously select the character traits you feel are important to teach your student. And you'll see practical suggestions to help you carry out your plans. Traits discussed include: honesty, compassion, kindness, fairness, tolerance, perseverance, obedience, courtesy and more!
Helping students learn to resolve conflicts
All students experience conflict in their lives, but the well-disciplined student learns to manage it, and has greater success in school. Parents teach their children to resolve conflicts by HELPING them solve their problems, not FIXING the problems for them. Scenes include discussions on: intolerance, prejudice, handling bullies, using active listening to resolve disagreements, showing respect for others' opinions, how to see the positive side of criticism, and where to go for help should all else fail. Helping students learn to manage conflicts is a sure-fire way to help them succeed in school.
helping students learn self-discipline
Self-disciplined students control their own behavior, even when adults aren't around, and they are more successful in everything they do. Learn how to help your student rely LESS on parental rewards and punishments and MORE on his/her own internal "compass." The video will show you how to model good behaviors, show self-control, and explain to your child how you want them to behave and why. Learning hard work and persistence at home by caring for pets, pursuing hobbies and extracurricular activities are just some of the points stressed that can build self-discipline.
Building Respect for rules, authority and other people
A well-disciplined student has respect for rules, authority and other people. This video helps you show your students that you respect them—with lots of love and attention—and firm, consistent discipline. You'll learn ways to encourage students to pursue their own dreams, assert themselves when appropriate and feel good about doing the right thing. You'll also see how you can be a good role model for your student and teach them to see people's strengths, tolerate others' views, and celebrate diversity. You can help your student learn how to play by the rules, and do better in school!
