About the 101s

The 101’s provide 101 things to do when disciplining a child to provide a healthy, nurturing environment, focusing on the positive rather than the negative.

Watch real-world examples of childcare providers using each of the 101’s while Dr. Kersey provides comments along the way. Also included is a library of resources and activities to help you apply and reinforce each principle and create your own effective disciplinary plan. Your relationships with children will become more rewarding, easier and fun!

At Old Dominion University, educators are taught the 101’s and the University’s Child Development Center applies them in their daily childcare practice. These educators, childcare providers and parents are empowered with positive, effective discipline strategies as they work and live with children.

Take the guesswork out of discipline and help children in your charge become happier, more able to settle differences peaceably, and more self-directed.
