What is Conscious Discipline?
In Dr. Bailey’s book, Conscious Discipline: Building Resilient Classrooms, she defines Conscious Discipline as:
A comprehensive self-regulation program that integrates
social-emotional learning, school culture and discipline. It enables teachers and
administrators build schools based on the internal resources of safety,
connection and problem solving instead of external rewards and punishments.
The three components of Conscious Discipline are: safety, connection, and
problem-solving.
At High Grove Early Childhood center, our goal is to develop and build healthy relationships with every child, and teach them how to make connections with others. Connections build a foundation for our children to learn conflict-resolution skills and self-regulation.
There are seven skills to conflict-resolution and self-regulation: composure, assertiveness, encouragement, choices, empathy, positive intent, and consequences. Conscious Discipline also has an effective parent/home component.
