52 Positive Discipline Parenting Tools in 52 Weeks

I am going to embark on a new adventure in Positive Discipline starting this week!  It is a challenge to try to implement the 52 parenting tools from the Deck of Positive Discipline Parenting Tools Cards.  I have used these cards in the past for a quick reminder or inspiration or as a discussion starter with parent groups.  They are fun, to the point and full of good ideas!  If you want to follow along with me on this adventure, you can get the cards from the Positive Discipline website. In addition, Jane Nelson, will be advising a couple other willing participants through her blog

As with any adventure, I am very excited to get started with this!  I hope to stay on top of it and blog about each of the tools throughout the year.  I will also try to tie Montessori ideas into my posts when applicable!
