Learn how and when you can use Positive Discipline  - ability to use Positive Discipline in a daily life 

Olivier Sorel presents concrete cases to demonstrate how teachers/educators can help students to automatise the use of social-emotional skills developed during Positive Discipline  lessons. It helps teachers to develop patterns and strategies to automatise students skills that they learned during  PSLL lessons - create links between lessons and their everyday life. 

This presentation will address the issue of Positive Discipline lessons (or social-emotional lessons generally) and how to connect them to everyday situations in and out of school. It will also address how Positive Discipline transforms the way we approach reality, and how the classroom is particularly suited to this learning and meta-learning.
