Share a positive example of research for children and families
Conscious Discipline is a research based discipline program. Its motto is discipline isn't something we do to children, its something you develop within children. Our Head Start program is embracing this and has been doing so for the last three years. It has been really wonderful for some of our children who are behavior problems. Conscious Discipline teaches children to focus on their feelings instead of reacting to them. Our teachers and staff are having monthly trainings and our managers have been attending the conferences twice a year. Conscious Discipline is a really huge outfit now. It was developed by Dr. Becky Bailey and she can be contacted through her website and you can also learn more about Conscious Discipline. The web address is www.consciousdiscipline.com

Susann,
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this link. I am glad you have found this program to be helpful at your program. I will look into it.
Susan,
ReplyDeleteI am really glad to read and hear about research on how to develop discipline within children rather than we disciplined our children. Thank you for sharing the website about Dr. Bailey's research. I am really interested in learning more about Conscious Discipline. I am also interested about knowing how do you implement this program and methods you use to develop discipline within children in your center.
I like the idea of "focusing in children's feeling rather than reacting to them". Thank you for sharing.
Susann,
ReplyDeleteWe use conscious discipline at the center where I work as well and I believe it teaches many valuable techniques for teachers and even parents that could change a child's world. I didn't even think of it! Thanks for reminding me :)
