I was
introduced to Conscious Discipline training developed by Becky Bailey, about
five years ago. It is
specifically designed to provide parents with the conscious awareness and
skills needed to create safe, connected, problem-solving homes. It is also a
dramatic strategy to handle the most difficult of challenging classroom. Giving families a true working alternatives
to hitting, spanking or isolation techniques
as a form of punishment has I know personally helped not only my work with
children inside the classroom, but also raising three children independently. Research proves that when teachers and parents
exhibit self control in volatile situations that they themselves teach children
emotional intelligence (Bailey, 2012)
I have used
these strategies based in bailey’s research and passed on the education
research techniques to my families struggling with aggressive and challenging
behaviors. Teaching children, staff, and
families emotional intelligence is a teaching style that will work with persistence
and consistency. Its benefits in my
family specifically have given me piece of mind and less stressful mindset to
raise my child that is diagnosed with ADHD.
My child has now has the strategies to deal with frustration and
feelings that become overwhelming.
I have professionally
and personally observed this research affect children and their families
positively.
