Positive Discipline of Older Children – The purpose of discipline is to teach children about the rules and values of our society and to help them become self- disciplined.

Positive Parenting of Infants – No infant should ever be spanked, shaken or scolded. At this stage of development, shaking or spanking a baby can do serious damage, including brain damage or death.
