Behaviour and discipline
Discipline is a necessary part of both home and school life. Different parents will have different ways of ensuring their child behaves well - what works for one child may not work for another.
The ParentsCentre forum is the ideal place to glean ideas, advice and information from other parents and carers who have experienced - or are experiencing - the same issues as you. You'll find a variety of different discussions in the forum, from the benefits of fish oils and positive parenting to ADHD, detention and moodiness.
You can start a new discussion, join in with a current one or simply read other people's posts. You can also submit a question to an expert. Details of the different forum areas are below on the right hand side.
Discipline at school is based on an agreement between the school and parents about what the expected behaviour of children should be. Below you'll find information about how schools deal with issues such as bullying, drugs and alcohol, truancy and disruptive behaviour.
You'll also find information on what your rights and responsibilities are as a parent or carer, with sections covering exclusions, parenting contracts, parenting orders and penalty notices.
Sometimes speaking to parents and carers who have experienced the same
issues and problems as you can be a great way to get valuable advice and
information. Read, respond or ask a question in the 
'Behaviour and discipline'
section of the ParentsCentre
forum. You may also be interested in paying a visit to the 'Parental rights and responsibilities'
, 'Worried about...'
and 'Family matters - being a parent or carer'
sections for
similar discussions.
Benefit from the advice and tips given by our experts in the 'Ask an expert'
section of the ParentsCentre forum.
