Programs for Schools
"Restitution is a philosophy of discipline that is based on intrinsic motivation. It was created by Diane Gossen and is based on William Glasser’s Control theory principles. Restitution helps students to develop self-discipline and helps teachers to become better managers and mentors. We learn to become the student or the teacher we want to be, even in difficult situations."
Support Your Parent Community
with our Parenting Workshop Series
In the Restitution approach, we think of discipline as learning and we guide children to begin to make decisions by thinking about the kind of person they want to be. We teach students and parents that mistakes are how we learn. We help parents become managers of their children's behavior and at the core of the training is the importance of a positive, nurturing relationship between kids and parents.
We help parents recognize that all behavior is purposeful and is driven by internal needs. Our workshop provides tools and techniques to manage behavior by meeting needs and developing win-win solutions, rather than resorting to punishments and rewards.
The parenting tools are effective for children of all ages!
