The discipline and guidance of children: A summary of research
This research was carried out by the Children's Issues Centre. It formed the basis of SKIP's six principles. These are:
- love and warmth
- talking and listening
- guidance and understanding
- limits and boundaries
- consistency and consequences
- structure and security
The Office of the Children's Commissioner commissioned this work. It was based on a search of published material in peer-reviewed national and international literature on family discipline. A summary was published in 2004.
