Great Book On Discipline, April 22, 1999
As reviewed by Marjan Glavac for the Busy Educator's NewsletterRon Morrish, author of "Secrets of Discipline 12 Keys for raising responsible children" has been an educator and behaviour specialist since 1972. His workshops and presentations have helped countless parents and teachers improve their skills for raising responsible children. Ron starts out with a very simple question: What has happened to discipline? Could television and the movies have such a negative impact on our children? Many people think so. Others believe that social issues are to blame, including poverty, abuse and the breakdown of the family unit. Research says that every one of these concerns plays a significant role. That's not a surprise. The only real surprise, according to Morrish, is that no one is investigating the most obvious source of problems. Many of the problems with discipline lie within discipline itself. Many of the strategies that we presently use to raise our children will not give us the kind of children we want. I visited with Ron in his home for over 3 hours. While there, his 6 year old daughter kept peeking through the doorway to see who her dad was talking to. Ron invited her into the room and introduced us. She then sat on his lap, and listened attentively as we both continued our conversation. There firsthand, I saw that Ron's approach to discipline really works. He is one speaker and author who "walks his talk".
