Conscious Discipline®

 

 

Conscious Discipline® is a comprehensive classroom management program and a social-emotional curriculum.  It is based on current brain research, child development information, and developmentally appropriate practices. Conscious Discipline® has been specifically designed to make changes in the lives of adults first. The adults, in turn, change the lives of children.  

Our teachers have begun implementing Conscious Discipline® by developing skills to help children become aware of and express their feelings, work out conflict and become a school family.  To learn more about Conscious Discipline®, select this link to their website.

  

 

TRAINING ON APRIL 28, 2012

Eleven teachers along with the center director, assistant director and business manager attended a six hour Conscious Discipline Workshop presented by Loving Guidance Associate, Jill Molli.  The topic was, "Managing Emotional Mayhem, The Key to Self-Regulation".  Self-regulation is the ability to regulate our thoughts, feelings and actions in service of a goal.  If we are going to teach children how to self-regulate, we must first learn how to do it ourselves.  The success cycle for self regulating includes:

"I AM TRIGGERED" - I am angry

"I CALM" - Breathing and noticing nonverbal cues

"I FEEL" - Identify and name the feeling shifting from I am angry to I feel angry

"I CHOOSE" - I reframe the problem with positive intent connecting with others

"I SOLVE" - Win-win solutions are abundant
