Education
Conscious Discipline® is a neurodevelopmental model that focuses on internal states first and behavior second.
The conscious part of Conscious Discipline is based on consciousness and mindfulness research and consists of seven powers. The seven powers for conscious adults are: the power of perception, the power of unity, the power of attention, the power of free will, the power of acceptance, the power of love, and the power of intention. The powers create long-term, lasting success by guiding us to become conscious, present, attuned, and responsive to the needs of ourselves and children.
The seven skills of discipline emerge from the foundation of the seven powers for conscious adults and are the only skills needed to transform everyday discipline issues into teaching moments; these moments are our opportunities to teach children the social-emotional and communications skills necessary to manage themselves, resolve conflict, prevent bullying, and develop prosocial behaviors. The seven skills are composure, encouragement, assertiveness, choices, empathy, positive intent, and consequences.
