The methodology of Bill Corbett's teaching is inspired by the studies of psychologists Rudolph Dreikurs and Alfred Adler and is centered on the approach that effective discipline first requires a solid understanding of why children act out the way they do. "Misbehavior is communication," Dreikurs wrote in his book Children The Challenge and this communication must be interpreted in order to use discipline effectively. His theory and methods are based on firm AND respectful discipline and assists parents in raising up cooperative and responsible children.
