- 2. Overview of Concious Discipline Conscious Discipline was created by Dr. Becky Bailey in 1996. With 35 years of experience with the most difficult children Dr. Bailey believes you must discipline from within rather than applying discipline to children. Concious Discipline focues on emotional processes and interpersonal skills. I wanted to learn more about conscious discipline because it is the technique that is used in my Head Start classroom. I feel like I am continually learning more about it. https://consciousdiscipline.com/about/becky- bailey/

- 5. Breathing Conscious discipline incorporates breathing techniques. Breathing allows children to keep composure when they are feeling strong emotions.

- 6. Feeling Buddies Each feeling buddy has a different emotion. The four core buddies are Angry, Scared, sad, and happy. Their cousins are just below them frustrated, anxious, disappointed, and calm. The children learn about the feeling buddies through a series of lessons best if done in a small group setting. The feeling buddies homes are in the safe place. It is important that the children are taught that the buddies are not toys, but tools to help manage their feelings. http://domesticexecutiveonline.com/2017/05/feeling-buddies-families-toolkit-can- help/
- 7. Safe Place A safe place is a cube with openings in the sides as pictures on this slide. This is a place for children to go when they are feeling strong emotions. While in the safe place the children will talk to feeling buddies and breathe with them. When first attempting this an adult will accompany them walking through each step and reassuring the child that they are safe and can handle it.
- 8. Choices We all have choices to make everyday. Some choices we do not want to make. In conscious discipline instead of demanding a child to do something we are giving them choices. Two positive choices that lead to the same outcome. For example I Have a child who has pulled every block off the shelf and is now leaving the center a mess. I am going to give him two choices. Teacher: You need to clean up these blocks. Student: I don’t want to Teacher: You can clean up the red blocks first or clean up the blue blocks first. What works best for you. The choices given have the same end result the blocks get cleaned up. It is important with conscious discipline to focus on what you want the child to do not what they are doing wrong.
- 9. Conecting it Concious Discipline has a lot of prompting involved.

- 10. My Experience Four years ago I started using conscious discipline in my classroom. I had been through various trainings and still had no clue what I was doing. I often referred to it as the “Hippie Method.” I did not understand or think it was beneficial. Four years later I find myself using it at home with my own children. The struggle I find is getting parents involved. Many do not understand it. I am constantly showing videos and creating handouts for my parents because the benefits of this strategy amaze me. This year I have a little girls in my classroom when we started she had a meltdown at clean up time everyday. I guided her through breathing and now when she becomes upset she tells me what she needs and goes to the safe place by herself and handles it amazingly.
