Elements of Discipline is a timely and helpful book for teachers, parents, and day-care professionals that provides a simple set of rules for managingâsuccessfully and humanelyâa wide range of discipline situations and challenges. A well-respected child development specialist, Stephen Greenspan outlines his âABC Theory of Discipline.â He combines an Affective approach, a Behavioral approach, and a Cognitive approach that, when used in a coordinated fashion, will contribute to greater child compliance and family/classroom harmony. Greenspan suggests that, using his matrix, caregivers can provide the warmth, tolerance, and influence that will help children become competent in three socio-emotional domainsâhappiness, boldness, and niceness. He recommends caregivers pick and choose from the discipline literature in a manner that best suits their individual style and values. Elements of Discipline is a lively guide to effective classroom or family management.
