Conscious Discipline - Parent Training

Conscious Discipline is a comprehensive, trauma-informed approach that empowers both educators and parents to create safe, connected, and problem-solving environments for children. It shifts the focus from establishing control and enforcing compliance to building positive relationships and self-regulation skills. This innovative method integrates social-emotional learning, discipline, and self-regulation, enabling children to develop the emotional intelligence and resilience needed to navigate challenges successfully. Our teachers have just completed a training session on Conscious Discipline and we now invite parents to join us in exploring this transformative approach. The training will provide practical strategies for fostering a sense of safety, connection, and problem-solving capabilities in children, laying a strong foundation for their social and emotional well-being.

We have been using Conscious Discipline at Common Ground for 2 years now, and just did a re-boot training with our staff where we slowed the 10 hour training down and met weekly to discuss how to best implement the skills within our classrooms. Our teachers really enjoyed the format of getting to talk about the training and even work through some practical challenges together. It was so well received that, we have decided to offer this opportunity to our parents as well! We are excited to have you join us a share in this approach to developing our children’s social and emotional skills.

We are offering three weekly discussion groups, you can attend the same group each week or mix it up:
