Conscious Discipline is a comprehensive social and emotional intelligence classroom management program that empowers both the adult and child. The work of Dr. Becky Bailey is based on current brain research, child development, and developmentally appropriate best practices. Conscious Discipline leads teachers, adults and children through a process that promotes permanent behavior changes. It is a move away from traditional discipline approaches that rely on fear to a relationship approach. Current brain research clearly shows that fear is detrimental to learning and brain development, therefore, we have made a conscious decision as a staff to learn about the principles of Conscious Discipline. Our school family is learning how to solve problems through cooperation, communication skills and responding to each other instead of reacting. www.consciousdiscipline.com
