Positive Discipline in the Montessori Classroom

by Jane Nelsen, Chip DeLorenzo

In 1981, Jane Nelsen wrote her first book, Positive Discipline. Since then she has authored many more on the same theme, from Positive Discipline for Toddlers to Positive Discipline for Adolescents. Many years ago Jane recognized the compatibility of Positive Discipline with the Montessori approach. Co-Authored with Montessorian Chip DeLorenzo, this latest title is pertinent for all levels of Montessori, and will be used in the workshops Jane and Chip give through the Positive Discipline training program. With emphasis on creating and maintaining respectful relationships, Positive Discipline is sure to provide support and guidance for Montessori teachers at every age level. Teachers will relate to the situations the authors describe and feel empowered by the authors' responses as they learn the techniques and skills they offer. A must-have for every teacher.

Just what I needed!

This book synthesized a lot of things I knew about into one program that I know I can follow. The author offered explanations, examples, and grace for mistakes that make me excited to get started this fall. Everything I believe in my heart about children, Montessori education, and discipline was articulated in this book. Love it and plan to read it again as the school year starts!

Een mooie aanvulling voor de 'voorbereide omgeving', nu vooral op het gebied van de sociaal-emotionele ontwikkeling van kinderen. Veel herkenbare situaties, heel behulpzaam bij hoe je daar als leerkracht mee om kunt gaan. Respectvol, vriendelijk en beslist.

FIVE STARS ALL AROUND. This book covers so many topics in a cohesive way that are helpful and effective. I will be rereading this book many times and implementing a lot of the tools into my classroom.

I have added this book to my “must read every year” list. I also plan to reference it on a regular basis during the school year. This is an excellent book for Montessori guides.
