About Conscious Discipline®
Conscious Discipline® is an emotional intelligence program developed by Dr. Becky A. Bailey which consists of brain smart strategies for responding instead of reacting to conflict moments. It is through our ability to calmly respond, that everyday conflict moments become the “teachable moments” whereby we can model and teach respect, helpfulness, kindness, honesty and compassion.
Use of the Conscious Discipline ® approach is a specific process which promotes permanent behavioral changes in parents, children, and teens. When we love and interact consciously with our children, change takes place. Children are no longer motivated by external rewards. They develop motivation to change due to their own intrinsic beliefs about self and others. We move away from the traditional “reward and punishment” paradigm which is based on creating fear in the child. Instead, the Conscious Discipline® approach is love-based, which encourages parent and child to balance thinking with emotions. Children begin to create healthy solutions to their own dilemmas under the loving guidance of the parent or teacher. In addition, children become more accountable for their own behaviors rather than shifting the blame to others.
