I'm working on my blog series and for my current article I am writing an introduction to AP using the eight principles. Principle Seven is "Practice Positive Discipline". Am I correct in thinking that PD and GD are on in the same? If not, how are they different?
Positive Discipline is Gentle Discipline ... right?

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.
