Discipline, Role Modeling, & Children in Placement

Discuss the components of self discipline which are the foundation for communicating and role modeling discipline to children in placement.  As we explore what it means to Delay Gratification, Accept Responsibility, Be Dedicated to the Truth, and Balance All Things, we can begin to use a strength-based model to implement rules in the environment for youth in foster care.

This session presents information that enables the participant to: 
Understand the four components of self discipline;
Apply the principles of self discipline to discipline techniques;
Empower youth to become self disciplined.
