Screens and Sanity: Positive Discipline Tools for Balance and Connection

Jan 20, 2025 | News

Parenting in the digital age is challenging—managing screen time, fostering connection, and avoiding daily power struggles can feel overwhelming. If you’re seeking practical, respectful strategies to create a more balanced and harmonious home, we invite you to join us for an insightful session.

At the Institute of ACS Athens, our primary mission is to bridge the gap between education and industry, providing students with opportunities to apply their knowledge in real-world settings and preparing them to thrive in a globalized world. Within this framework, we also recognize the importance of the Golden Circle – the partnership between school, teachers, and parents – as a foundation for student success. By fostering collaboration within the Golden Circle, we ensure students develop the academic, social, and emotional skills needed to excel in both the classroom and their future careers. This holistic approach allows us to align educational excellence with meaningful industry connections, empowering students to become adaptable, conscious global citizens.

Why Positive Discipline?

Positive Discipline is a proven, respectful approach used at ACS Athens to nurture independence, responsibility, and resilience in students. It aligns with our Conscious Global Citizenship Model, which equips students with the empathy, skills, and accountability needed to thrive in an interconnected world.

By adopting Positive Discipline at home, parents align with the strategies used at school, ensuring children receive consistent messages. This unified approach fosters mutual respect, strengthens family connections, and instills constructive problem-solving, key traits of a global citizen.
