Conscious Discipline

Evidence-based Social and Emotional Learning

The methodology of Conscious Discipline is based in scientific and developmental research. It is recognized by SAMHSA's National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices (NREPP).

Conscious Discipline creates a compassionate culture and facilitates an intentional shift in adult understanding of behavior via the Conscious Discipline Brain State Model. It then provides specific brain-friendly, research-backed strategies for responding to each child's individual needs with wisdom. This highly effective approach is proven to increase self-regulation, sense of safety, connection, empathy and intrinsic motivation in both children and adults.

The Conscious Discipline site features articles, videos, and printables on helping with the emotional wellness of your child. These are free resources and are updated weekly. I highly recommend you visit this site.
