You're welcome! Coming back here I finally took the chance to actually read through your posting. And reading the article you linked on "positive discipline" (in the beginning an oximoron to me)... Air, Dark, Obedience. I still don't see what's positive about teaching or pupil, coming from an #unschooling perspective.

I like point 4 and 5 as they wrap up what I was thinking when looking for an alternative to discipline: creativity and opportunities for learning. From an anarchist perspective I sometimes like to say "I am allowed to be an a..hole, so you are." We learn from that, don't we? The only trick is not to be an a..hole all the time, right? But how can you remain one, when there's opportunity to be one?

So point 6 is the best thing to do, and sometimes scene can be location as well. All that 7 to 10 is offering is absolutely worth considering. However, I would not consider this to have anything to do with discipline, except we take discipline as what I think it is, when it is positive: self-discipline. Kind of a pleonasm in my mind, if discipline is not about obedience.
