We use the positive discipline techniques espoused by Thomas Gordon and others before we use any other form of discipline. It’s our first line of approach, integrated into our entire approach.

And sometimes it does fail – not because it’s not a good approach – but because even though it is a good approach, it is not a perfect one.
