Positive Parenting and Educating Resources
Here are a range of resources that promote positive, non-violent methods of child-raising among parents, teachers, other adults who work with children, and children and young people themselves.
We aim to only recommend resources in line with our definition of positive parenting and educating, and we favour approaches that endeavour to work in partnership with children to get the best possible outcome for them. Therefore, we do not include programmes or resources that:
- Advocate punishment of any kind
- Advocate consequences or sanctions that undermine children’s healthy development or breach their human rights
- Only seek short-term behaviour modification, without regard to long-term learning, development and solutions.
