These alternatives are called tools. Effective discipline means blending intuition and knowledge about a child and the circumstances to shape a flexible response that teaches and strengthens the child's capacity for self-control. The more tools parents have available, the more effective they can be. The Responsive Discipline on-line course should not be viewed as a substitute for professional assistance. If your child has severe or continuing emotional problems, contact your local mental health center for a referral.
Some problems require professional help.
