The Discipline Coach - If you're thinking discipline is keeping them in check, sorting them out, showing them what's good for them, because it's for their own good, because it's what the youth of today are so sorely lacking... you've got the wrong book (Paperback)

Jim Roberson, born and raised in the Bronx, was the first African American to play sports for Bronxville High School and his teammate was Roger Goodell, commissioner for the NFL. Jim graduated from the University of Rhode Island.

He now lives in the United Kingdom working with some of the most challenging children in school. Jim believes school should be the place where you learn how to succeed in life. Most importantly you have to learn discipline. That is to say "self discipline." For Jim, behavior is the "B-word" and is forbidden Discipline, on the other hand, is neatly described not as something others do to you to get you to behave nor even as something you do to yourself, but rather as "what you do for yourself." Jim advocates a partnership between children and school. The school commits to teach children everything they need to succeed in and beyond school, no matter what career choices they make. In return, children commit to doing "what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, the way it needs to be done."

This unique book cleverly captures Jim's inspirational message in his own voice.

Jim Roberson has been working as a teacher, trainer and coach on the Discipline Approach for over twenty years.
