Positive Discipline

The objective of the workshop is to look at the consequences of how we use discipline and to define tools for an effective discipline, which will help to prevent the development of aggressive behaviour and to encourage harmonious and positive relations between parents and their children.

To make a difference

Since 1984 more than 140,000 children and nearly 17,500 parents, caregivers, and educators have benefited from assault prevention tools provided by the Child Assault Prevention Program (CAP).

38,000 women and adolescent girls have taken an Action course. Women feel more confident and empowered after taking ACTION.

Our school team greatly appreciated the relevance of the CAP workshops and how they were adapted to the reality of our community. In addition, it was possible for us to follow up on certain more difficult situations experienced by some children.

Women Tell Their Stories

We had a friend of mine with her son, who was about 12 at the time, over for dinner. And we’re at the dinner table at my house, and she said something and he sort of muttered something like, “No one wants to see your stupid face!” to his mother. She didn’t say anything. And I said, “Excuse me, you just really insulted my best friend, and that hurts my feelings when you insult someone like that at my table!” And he didn’t say anything for quite a while.
