From the Paper:

"The purpose of positive discipline is to enhance children's ability to control their behaviors, take responsibility for their actions and make appropriate decisions. More than just eliciting the desired behaviors from the children, positive discipline places a strong emphasis on promoting the healthy development of children. Essentially, the implementation of discipline should not lead to the degradation of the self-esteem and dignity of the children. Rather, children should be empowered in the process of learning how to make decisions and displaying desired behaviors."
