Discipline That Heals, Not Hurts

The Science of Discipline is a proven and transformative roadmap to tackling some of the biggest behavioral problems faced in school systems today. Nathan Maynard, a global leader in discipline and restorative practices, offers insightful theories and practical strategies to take a more proactive approach to improve student behavior.

Many behavior modification models are outdated and fear-based, creating more challenges than they solve. Instead, this book walks you through Maynard's signature trauma-informed approach, focusing on belonging, accountability, and logical consequences.

Supported by groundbreaking research in behavioral neuroscience, this book gives you 8 strategies to work through the most complex challenges students and educators face.
