Positive Discipline is one flavor of Gentle Discipline. Gentle Disciple is really a cover term for a range of discipline approaches from Positive Discipline to Consentual Living and a lot of things in between.<br><br>
You'll find some people on this board find PD too coercive in that they use time outs and there's a definite parental hierarchy. However, PD shares with GD a respect for the child and a commitment to no violence against children.<br><br>
Personally, I'm more on the PD side of things than some of the more consentual approaches.
