Positive guidance, or 'discipline', teaches children skills, raises their self-esteem, and strengthens the parent-child bond. Physical punishment is not positive discipline. Children need safe, stable and nurturing relationships with their parents.
This pamphlet provides some tips to help parents guide their child's behaviour in a positive way.

The Family-Centred Maternity and Newborn Care: National Guidelines are intended to assist health care organizations, providers, program planners, policy makers, administrators and families to propose, plan, implement and evaluate maternal and newborn health care policies and practices. They are not considered clinical practice guidelines (CPGs), although CPGs originating from such bodies as The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC), and the UK’s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), as well as from the provinces (such as British Columbia’s perinatal guidelines), have been extensively consulted to determine the optimal recommended principles and practices.

South Region Parents as Teachers Society is located in the heart of Southern Alberta, and both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the people of Treaty 7, which includes the Blackfoot Confederacy (the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai First Nations). 

By virtue of the signing of Treaty 7 in 1877, South Region Parents as Teachers recognizes that we are all treaty people. South Region Parents as Teachers recognizes that this region is also now home to Region III of the Metis Nation of Alberta.
