Aldous ate the World is proud to be a blogger advocate of Positive Discipline: "Love Does Not Hurt!". I attended last Thursday's "Go Positive! Celebrity Advocate Media Launch" that featured celebrities Lotlot de Leon, Reema Chanco and Cherry Pie Picache.
Organized
by the PETA ARTS (Advocate Right to Safety) Zone Project in partnership
with Plan International, Child Rights Network (CRN) and Dakila, supported
by terre des homes-Germany, German Federal Ministry for Economic
Cooperation and Development (BMZ), and the European Union (EU), the
media launch featured the advocacy video, “Go Positive! The Positive
Discipline Approach to Parenting.” Advocates from various sectors
including public school educators, faith-based groups and youth shared
testimonials on how going positive rears children who are able to grow
towards reaching their full potentials and develop holistically as human
beings.
Positive
discipline is an approach to guiding children’s behavior without using
any form of violence like spanking, pinching, humiliation, and verbal
abuse. It is about instilling values of non-violence, empathy,
self-respect, human rights and respect for others. Advocates champion
positive discipline as a disciplinary method that involves
open communication with a child, making sure that the parent-child
relationship is rooted on mutual love and respect. It ensures that the
child understands the consequences of his actions and allows him to make
his own decisions, making discipline a matter of deep understanding and
going beyond blind obedience.
PETA ARTS Zone Project, Plan International, Dakila and the Child Rights Network have been engaging in activities that encourage “duty-bearers” to go positive in disciplining children with out resorting to violent forms. In ending, Marichu Belarmino of PETA ARTS Zone said, “There are more than enough ways for affirmative child rearing practices and instilling discipline to children with out resorting to violence and at the same time upholding their rights and dignity as children. Loving our children means never hurting them.
