We can very easily forgive people for assuming that our system is just another reward chart; there are so many out there already, so we don’t blame you at all! The difference between our system and the everyday reward chart; lays not in the chart, but in the 16 page instruction manual and information brochure that is included in your starter pack. This is also the reason why we insist on clients buying the starter pack before they can buy charts individually.
Reward charts are a very commonly used tool in the parenting toolbox and they come in all different shapes and sizes. Some parents accomplish great results others give up after a while, as it doesn’t seem to be working for their children. In our opinion, some parents use it correctly, while many parents and many schools use it completely wrong! When used incorrectly, the focus shifts from the positive to the negative, often leading to children who are confused, labelled and feeling extremely self-conscious and ashamed. This can lead to a multitude of behavioural problems; exactly the opposite of what you were trying to accomplish in the first place.
We at Vita Nova absolutely believe that it is NOT the tool you use that will make the difference; it is how you use it. In our 16 page instruction manual, we explain exactly what it means to discipline your child, and how we believe, you can achieve the best possible results, by taking a positive approach to the process. The beautiful charts we add, is therefore just an added bonus, making it visually appealing to your child, but also as easy as possible for you to get started!
We realise that there are quite a few misperceptions regarding the use of positive discipline and our instruction booklet will clarify all of this for you. We whole heartedly believe that applying all the information that you will receive in your starter pack, you will have a better understanding of yourself regarding discipline, where and how your partner fits into all of this and what the do’s and don’ts are if you wish to make this work.
In addition to the great product that we have developed, we will also have online open discussions regarding parenting in general and the use of our system specifically via our frequently asked questions page on the Vita Nova website. Added to that, we will update our articles page on a regular basis with informative articles on the subject of Positive Discipline specifically. So you will never be left in the dark!
If you have any questions, reservations or concerns with regards to the Vita Nova Positive Discipline System, please send us an email and we will gladly put your mind and your heart at ease.
Happy parenting!
