For the past ten years, the expression “positive education”, often linked to benevolence, has been a great success, whether with school institutions or families.\u00a0A whole series of variations is possible: positive parenting, positive\u00a0authority<\/a>\u00a0or positive discipline.<\/p>\n

Although its definition is yet to be done, it already appears that it is above all a question of respect for the rights and needs of children and adults through more comprehensive, empathic and constructive human relations.<\/p>\n

Child protection<\/strong><\/h4>\n

At the time of the celebration of the\u00a030th anniversary<\/a>\u00a0of the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, signed on November 20, 1989, positive education must be placed in this historic desire to take into account the needs and “the interest”. of the child.<\/p>\n

This protection of the child has been developed through the laws on the rights of the child but also those of the State.\u00a0In fact, the XIX\u00a0th<\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0century built a\u00a0“protectional system”<\/a>\u00a0facing the omnipotence of parents, specifically the father of her offspring.<\/p>\n

The refusal of the child abuse rhythm French legislation until the\u00a0law of July 10, 2019<\/a>\u00a0on “ordinary violence” that some, denigrating, call the law “anti-spanking”.\u00a0Yet this unbearable violence exists, and children remain the forgotten victims of the fight against violence.<\/p>\n

In France, a child dies\u00a0every five days<\/a>\u00a0of blows from his parents,\u00a0165,000 children<\/a>\u00a0are victims of rape and sexual violence each year and children remain the first victims of domestic violence.\u00a0All of these elements are a reality that places positive education as a necessity.<\/p>\n

School climate<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Since the law of refoundation of the school of the Republic of\u00a08 July 2013<\/a>\u00a0, the official texts of the Ministry of National Education stress that “the conditions of a calm school climate must be established in schools and schools to favor learning, the well-being and development of students and good working conditions for all “.<\/p>\n

Benevolence and empathy contribute to the notion of a new “school climate” by enhancing students’ motivation and skills.\u00a0This is linked to the results of international evaluations in the OECD’s Pisa program, pointing out that the\u00a0education systems<\/a>\u00a0that are making the most progress are those based on caring.\u00a0These elements illustrate the importance of the quality of the educational relationship between the teacher and the students for a real educational change.<\/p>\n

Positive authority, a concept that spreads from the world of high performance sport, highlights the link between firmness and flexibility.\u00a0In the field of education, “positive discipline” underlines again the importance of exchange, dialogue and respect towards children and adolescents.\u00a0School punishments or humiliating appreciations, symbols of a coercive education, are normally proscribed.<\/p>\n

Parental investment<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The question goes beyond the school setting to be defined by some as a family revolution, with\u00a0positive parenting<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0If no one can oppose the aspiration to harmonious relations between children and parents, this notion is subject to debate when it is perceived as an imperative.<\/p>\n

In a\u00a0book<\/a>\u00a0published in September 2019, B\u00e9atrice Kammerer emphasized the risks of mothers’ guilt that these demands of\u00a0emotional work<\/a>\u00a0would cause\u00a0without changing the division of roles between parents.<\/p>\n

To be a parent is to grope and experiment.\u00a0Education is never an exact science, and fortunately.\u00a0Of course, scientific knowledge and in particular neuroscience are contributions, but this should not and can not provide an educational standard.\u00a0However, the proponents of positive psychology most often try to validate it with measurable results.<\/p>\n

The idea of \u200b\u200ban evaluation of an education and above all the aims are asked.\u00a0What do parents want with this\u00a0positive education<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0: child development, cognitive performances of children, suppression of family conflicts, better obedience?<\/p>\n

The risk of the norm<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The current evolution is linked to this search for happiness.\u00a0In\u00a0Happycratie<\/em><\/a>\u00a0, \u00c9va Illouz and Edgar Cabanas analyze the progressive control of our lives by the values \u200b\u200bof positive psychology that support the imperative to personal fulfillment and well-being.\u00a0It is not this desire for happiness that is in question, quite the contrary, but the means used and the intentions.<\/p>\n

Transforming a process and an ideal into an\u00a0injunction<\/a>\u00a0brings individuals to frustration and an endless quest.\u00a0The welfare syndrome can lead to suffering related to this injunction of positivity and the inability to be happy.\u00a0Is there not, behind the question of what is called being happy, the risk of creating an archetype of the positive, young, healthy and beautiful person?<\/p>\n

Thus, it is clear that positive education is a necessity in the face of the abuse and coercion of some children.\u00a0This is a prerequisite.\u00a0Now it is appropriate to think of this positive education for the rights, respect and freedom of the child and his parents by avoiding the definition of a unique educational norm and by nature coercive.<\/p>\n
