Conscious Discipline® is an evidence-based behavior management program utilizing current brain research and developmentally appropriate practices to provide an array of strategies and classroom structures that teachers can use to turn everyday situations into learning opportunities. Created by Dr. Becky Bailey, an internationally renowned expert in child developmental psychology, Conscious Discipline® is built on the premise of developing discipline within children rather than applying discipline to them. The Conscious Discipline® process applies equally to parents, child care givers, educators, and patient caregivers.

Young children sometimes exhibit challenging behaviors such as aggression, hurtful words, or defiance. This happens because children haven’t yet learned the crucial social, emotional, language, and cognitive skills that lead to positive behavior. Our teachers use Conscious Disciple, by Dr. Becky Baily, to turn challenging behaviors into a learning opportunity and support positive behavior.
