Join Plan International's campaign and help us to influence governments, teachers, parents and others to prevent violence and protect children at school.
Plan Vietnam has developed a manual for those training others on positive discipline. The manual contains techniques, case studies and advice for those working with parents, teachers and care-givers on alternative forms of discipline.
The manual looks at the concept of punishment within the context of early childhood development and is divided into accessible chapters for adults interested in positive discipline.
