Discipline With Purpose
.
Self-discipline involves the whole person: physical, social, spiritual, moral, intellectual, emotional. The Discipline With Purpose program accommodates all facets of the whole person. Skills are taught to children during appropriate periods of their growth and development. The 15 skills are taught like any other curriculum. There are rules and consequences established throughout the school focusing on the mastering of the self-discipline skills. When individuals agree on the behaviors expected of a self-disciplined person, they establish a framework for decision-making and conflict resolution. Skills are used, instead of personality traits, as the standard for evaluation of behaviors, and bringing about constructive change.
