Discipline is gotten from the Latin word “disciplina,” meaning teaching, learning, and giving instruction. Hence, from its inception in the English language, “discipline” has meant “to teach.” You really can discipline in a way that’s full of respect and nurturing, but also maintains clear and consistent boundaries. You can discipline in a way that’s high on relationship, respect and low on drama and conflict. In the process, you can foster development that builds good relationship skills and improves your children’s ability to make good decisions and act in ways that prepare them for lifelong success and happiness.
Discipline is one of the most loving and nurturing things we can do for kids.
This summary will introduce you to a no-drama, whole-brain approach to discipline, offering principles and strategies that will remove most of the drama and high emotions that so typically characterize discipline. As a result, your life as a parent will be easier, and your parenting will become more effective. This summary is also beneficial to anyone who cares for a child and is interested in loving, scientifically informed, effective strategies to help children grow well.
Effective discipline means teaching skills that will help children make better decisions and handle themselves well in the future. ~ Daniel Siegel M.D. and Tina Bryson Ph.D.
second key point

The basic goal of discipline isn’t to give a consequence but to teach a lesson

So many parents want to handle things well when their kids are struggling to do the right thing. Unfortunately, they end up simply reacting to a situation rather than working from a clear set of principles and strategies. We want to be responsive to our kids rather than being reactive. We also want to be deliberate and make the right decisions based on principles we’ve considered and agreed on. Being deliberate about your children means considering the many options available and then choosing the one that fits into your values.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
