Instead, we can choose to use self-regulation to be in charge of our feelings, reclaim our personal power and be responsible for ourselves.

When you make traffic and children responsible for your internal feeling states, they have the power and the responsibility to make things better or worse for you. You are powerless to change and dependent on others for happiness and peace of mind. You are a victim to life. 2/3

[Conscious Discipline @ConsciousD]

If traffic makes you angry, then traffic is in charge of you. If children make you frustrated, then you have placed the children in charge. If your significant other makes you happy, then you have placed them in charge. 1/3

@ConsciousD I taught 8th grade ELA using CD as a framework and lens in my classroom. Routines and rituals were in the form of classroom rhythm, schedule, agenda, class jobs, wish well, brain smart start and brain science! While reading literature we discussed the brain states of characters.

Our survival brain doesn't communicate through words, it communicates through our senses. Sight, sound, touch, smell, taste, proprioception, vestibular and interception feedback can soothe or trigger us. We can use a child's sensory seeking behaviour to help them REGULATE

The School Family is key to building successful schools. #iHeartCD

[Courtney Compton @mrscomptonELA]

My daughter’s pre-K teacher empowered her to use her big voice and communicate clearly. This was a huge turning point in her language development. 💙

[Conscious Discipline @ConsciousD]

The power that comes from teaching kids to use their "Big Voice" at a young age has benefits that can last a lifetime.

One of our amazing @PipkinR12 teachers built this Wish Well to encourage sharing and building relationships. It has made a huge impact in her 6th grade classes by teaching the power of wishing one another well! 💙🏴‍☠️ #PiratePride #middleschool @ConsciousD @officialSPS

This skill of assertiveness is key to so much of classroom management and redirecting undesired behaviors.

[Conscious Discipline @ConsciousD]

A key component in the Skill of Assertiveness is using a tone of voice that has no doubt. A voice that is aggressive and harsh or passive and questioning actually invites children to challenge us. An assertive voice is always clear, matter-of-fact, and calm. #iHeartCD

Visuals don’t have to repeat themselves. ✈️ Think of schools like airports: each one is different, signs tell us where to go, restrooms, rules, where to find help or privacy. 🚸 In classrooms and hallways visuals help students feel safe transitioning in new places. 🚦

[Conscious Discipline @ConsciousD]

Children encode visuals into their prefrontal lobes and ultimately internalize them as mental models. Auditory reminders operate differently in the brain and do not create strong mental models. This is why visual routines are essential! #IHeartCD
