Too often we forget that discipline really means to teach, not to punish. A disciple is a student, not a recipient of behavioural consequences.
Daniel J. Siegel, The Whole-Brain Child

“How will the children obey if you don’t punish them?” A friend asked me the other day. They need to fear the punishment, they said,and that’s how they will listen and learn”

“I don’t want my students to fear me” I replied. They need to feel safe, feel nurtured and be willing to learn, out of desire not out of fear.”

“How can you manage the classroom without raising your voice?” My director asked. “You need to raise your voice, she said, that’s when you will feel that you are a real teacher”.

“But I don’t want to be that teacher” I replied. I don’t need to be that teacher”
